THE PROGRAMS

To achieve our objectives, we have adopted an integrated community development approach. This involves the setting up of different but related programs to promote participatory rural development and sustainable community-based projects. These programs help put disadvantaged people on their feet providing them with the necessary skills to become self-sufficient. The ultimate goal is for them to be empowered to help others in their communities.

COMMUNITY HEALTH This is a holistic program designed to guide and strengthen the community health service in rural areas. It includes training for public health workers in preventive care and the use, maintenance and repair of medical equipment.
ENGLISH This program provides important English language training for students in middle schools, health schools, and universities. It also runs workshops to help teachers upgrade their language proficiency as well as teaching skills.
