We partner with Blue Waters to drill clean water boreholes, support rural mobile medical clinics, assistance in acquiring medical supplies, and address food insecurity with permaculture teaching farms.

Education

We also support local Pre-K programs, and we partner with Zoe to equip orphans and vulnerable children with mentors and education on food security, health, school or vocational training, spiritual health, and child rights.

Economic Empowerment

We provide microfinance training for community members on how to save, budget, and create small entrepreneurial endeavors. We also provide vocational training scholarships for at-risk youth.
