Projects

1. Community-Based Development

   Working with communities, especially women, in Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kenya and Uganda to help them lift themselves out of poverty through funding from Child Sponsors in Ireland. We know that supporting women in a community has a powerful effect on everybody, lifting up their children, their families and future generations. And so, our approach is to empower local women to take control over their own lives. In our programmes women decide what their priorities are and we support them to make change for themselves. We support them with education and training, for example: literacy; numeracy; work skills; leadership skills; and how to achieve their rights to healthcare, work and education.
