Helping children access the basics

  • We build clean water sources and sanitation facilities and train community members on safe water, sanitation and hygiene practices
  • We nurture children’s health by teaching mothers how to grow and prepare nutritious food, among other activities
  • We build health centres and provide health supplies to fill gaps over and above what local governments provide
  • We support pre-natal care and safe deliveries through health-education, training health workers and more
  • We empower children and community groups with the information, confidence and capacity to collectively demand their basic needs and rights be met
  • We help adolescents, youths and adults build small businesses through finance and skills- training
  • We help build safe communities better prepared to respond, recover and rebuild when disaster strikes
