Community-owned
Participatory, community-based approaches mean the people we serve help shape each programme and own the results.
Our programmes
Love. Learn. Work. In practice.
We keep children in school and fed, equip women and youth with skills and capital, and help communities reach clean water and healthier habits.
How we work
Four principles behind every programme
Our work is shaped with the people it serves, and built so that it can outlast our own involvement.
Joined-up
Blended programming meets humanitarian and development needs together, so a child's school, meals and health are planned as one.
Built to last
We aim for sustainable local ownership and the support of government, so programmes can continue without us.
Open and accountable
Sound financial systems, transparency and accountability let every sponsor and partner see how support is used.
Three hubs
Three hubs, one family of work
Each hub gathers related programmes. Choose one to see the activities, the objectives and how you can help.
Education and nutrition
Scholarships for vulnerable children, with uniforms and scholastic materials. Breakfast, lunch and supper, plus beds and bedding.
Economic empowerment
Vocational and farming skills, leadership training, and startup capital for women where possible, so families can earn and feed themselves.
Health and wellbeing
Clean water, sanitation and hygiene, sanitary pads and reproductive-health awareness, and tree planting for healthier homes.
The six pillars
What each pillar does on the ground
Open a pillar to see the activities behind it and the hub where the detail lives.
Education sponsorship
We sponsor scholarships for vulnerable children and provide uniforms and scholastic materials so they can stay in class. We work to keep girls in school and to raise awareness of child protection. Find the detail under Education and nutrition.
Health and nutrition
We promote good nutrition in schools and communities. Sponsored children receive breakfast, lunch and supper, so hunger does not decide how much they can learn. Find the detail under Education and nutrition.
Skills and livelihoods
We provide vocational training for self-reliance and teach agricultural skills so households can grow their own food. Where possible we offer startup capital, and we support savings groups. Find the detail under Economic empowerment.
Women, youth and girl-child empowerment
We offer counselling, inspiration workshops, and leadership and career guidance to women and young people, with dedicated work for girls. Find the detail under Economic empowerment.
Water, sanitation and hygiene
We bring water and sanitation to schools and communities and promote family and personal hygiene. Find the detail under Health and wellbeing.
Environment and community leadership
We plant tree seedlings, teach environmental conservation and train community leaders, with outreach to spread awareness. Find the detail under Health and wellbeing.
