We create self-reliant communities through a family focused approach.
SINCE 1989.
Our Programmes
Housing
Housing is a vital element in building a community.
Working in collaboration with the Government, NGOs and our donors, we have been supporting our villages to construct, maintain and repair more than 500 homes.
Education
Ensuring that children and young people have access to quality education is a priority.
We support our villages with a variety of educational services, designed to develop life, employment and leadership skills.
Community
Our goal is to create strong communities.
We are a long-term partner of The Family Focused Village Development Program (FFVDP).
Livelihood
Having a secure and decent income, is key to becoming self-reliant and improving living conditions. We work with our villages to enable them to improve their working lives.
The fishing community is highly vulnerable to economic fluctuations and environmental challenges.
Women
With support, education and training, women are able to play an important role in helping their families and communities to become self-reliant.
We help women to stay healthy, develop new skills, stay in education and create alternative income.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Clean water, proper sanitation and good hygiene have a profound impact on health.
This is why providing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities to the local villages is one of our priorities.
The Adoption Centre
