Projects
Here are links to some of the various projects that we do.
Bicycle ambulances
Ensuring people can get to a health service In our area of support there is a huge issue with lack of transport to hospital/clinics. There are not enough health centres/hospitals in our area and therefore the catchment area for each centre is huge.

Community Based Childcare Centres (CBCCs)
What is a CBCC? A CBCC is a building with a multiple use - as a pre-school and as a feeding station for children 3-5 years old. Most children in rural areas cannot access early learning opportunities through pre-schools and are ill-prepared when they start school.

Distributions
Although we aim to build sustainable communities, unfortunately sometimes distributions, linked with our health projects are necessary. Some food is provided to those most in need, in the 'hungry months' around February before the harvest is ready.
