What We Do?

We believe that we can save more lives with you

Food & Nutrition

Many households eat once a day and some even fail to get daily meals. We strive to enhance food security by training them to grow food, and we lobby for nutritional support for malnourished children and non-suppressors. Through donations from local people and partner organizations, we reach out to those in need.

Water Sanitation & Hygiene

Clean water is life and thus we intend to promote access to clean water through sensitization & civic education on safe and clean drinking water, advocate and lobby for water filters to remote areas, and educate communities on the significances of maintaining sanitation and hygiene

Health Care & Public Health

We extend awareness on disease control and prevention, HIV/AIDS/TB/Malaria linkage and referral, psychosocial support and stigma reduction through mindset change creation. We strive to ensure that those negative stay negative, those who are at risk are safe and those who are positive suppress.

Access to Quality Education

We support and advocate for the vulnerable children and adolescents to stay in school, access fees & scholastic materials. We do skills training to vulnerable children and adolescents and young mothers out of school. We conducting agricultural farmer education and skills such as hairdressing, tailoring, soap and cosmetics making among others to those out of school.

Shelter & Basic Needs Support

We provide food, clothes, soap, sugar, and other basic needs to the vulnerable. We intend to work with well wishers, donors, partner organisations and the charity givers to provide more basic needs especially shelter to the homeless elderly, PWD, and other critically vulnerable groups in the community so that they can also live a transformed life.

Social Protection

. We design and come up with modified social protection community interventions and also provide psychosocial support to the traumatized, do Child protection and safeguarding, empowerment of youths, elderly, PWDs, Adolescent girls and young women, and fight against Gender Based Violence & Violence against Children

Environment Protection

We advocate for climate action, lobby and plant trees in schools, public places and bare areas within the community so as to curb consequences of environmental degradation, create awareness on environmental conservation, disaster preparedness, and response as well as advocacy for Environment conservation initiatives

Economic strengthening

We enhance this through conducting financial literacy & SPM trainings, fostering savings and credit among adolescents, young women and young men as well as initiating Micro credit scheme for the vulnerable groups, initiating Community economic empowerment interventions for the vulnerable households as well as reducing food insecurity among care givers

OVC & AGYW Support
