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
Dream:
To set up sustainable projects for children, women and bring forth transformational change in communities and family units so they have chance to help themselves.
