CHILDREN AND WOMEN -  HOLISTIC CARE

Problem:

CHILDREN:  45,5 % of the nation of 24 Million people consist out of children under 14                                    years of age.  Another 21 % of the population is between 15 and 24 years                                of age.  That makes nearly 66,5 % of the nation under the age of 25.  The                                  youth dependency rate is more that 88 %.  With nearly half of the population                              illiterate and with very limited health services and hardly any clean water                                    in RURAL areas where we work.  Schools and libraries are desperately                                    needed .  We currently train more than 400 children and help government                                schools with more than 5 000 children to provide literacy and character                                      training.

WOMEN:        We currently have more than 4 000 women in our program which uses the                               Bible to read and write.  Female life expectancy in schools is only up to the                               age of 9 years due to cultural beliefs.  We are changing that by bringing                                     women together to have the opportunity to read and write.  

ORPHANS:    We currently work and help more than 1 700 orphans to read and write and in                          a country with more than 1 000 0000 orphans out of 24 million people.  The                              demands are high as orphans grow daily due to high mortality rates of                                      parents.

PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS:  Due to flooding and dry spells local people are                                                                                struggling to provide for families.  We distribute                                                                                water pumps to hungry communities to help                                                                                      them take care of their crops in a sustainable way
