Health Promotion
Our health promotion program reduces malaria transmission through education, preventative measures, and awareness while improving maternal and newborn health through sensitization on essential care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
Through education, communities experience lower malaria transmission, as well as lower morbidity and mortality rates for mothers and infants.
Church Empowerment
Economic Empowerment
Through Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs), community members are empowered with access to savings and credit services. VSLAs are formed at each water point, providing training on financial literacy, group savings, and loan management.
This program increases financial literacy, improved household incomes, and the creation of sustainable livelihoods.
Disaster Relief
The Youth Running Club engages the local youth in constructive activities, promotes physical health, and reduces social vices through organized sports. We offer coaching and mentorship opportunities.
This program fosters teamwork, discipline and positive values through specially designed Bible-based lessons.
We seek to strengthen the local church's capacity to spread the Gospel, provide spiritual support, and lead community development initiatives. This creates empowered churches, a spiritually strengthened community with enhanced capacity for addressing physical and spiritual needs, greater collaboration between faith-based groups, and improved community unity.
When disaster strikes, we provide immediate and long-term disaster relief to affected communities, ensuring food security, hygiene, and recovery through structured phases of assistance.
Through food aid, community recovery and rebuilding with essential resources, this program facilitates long-term resilience and self-sufficiency for restored communities.
