A breake down of how what we do
Supporting the Vulnerable
Our team on the ground and abroad are committed to reaching out to the most vulnerable members of the community, including the elderly and the handicapped. Through our various programs, we offer essential support, whether it's healthcare, nutrition, or simply companionship, to enhance their quality of life.
Empowering the Youth
Our dedication to the future lies in our young people. Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty, as stated in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." By supporting the education of youth in Cotes-de-Fer, we aim to equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to become self-sufficient and contribute to the growth of their community.
Comprehensive School Health Program
Through our Grandma Martha Hygiene Kits for Girls program, we recognize that education extends beyond textbooks. Partnering with local schools, we establish a Comprehensive School Health Program aimed at students aged 8-14. This initiative ensures that students receive both educational and health and wellness support necessary for their holistic development, helping them prepare for and be ready before they reach puberty. Our program delivers School Health education to both boys and girls, with a special emphasis on menstrual hygiene and puberty education, ensuring that they are equipped with the knowledge and resources they need as they transition into adolescence.
Sustainable Growth Projects
Sustainable Growth Initiatives: To achieve enduring impact, we work alongside local community leaders to pinpoint and support sustainable growth initiatives capable of lifting the community out of extreme poverty. These initiatives span across agriculture, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure development, fostering long-term prosperity and resilience.
Women's Empowerment Program
We offer essential financial training to local women facing adversity, coupled with microloans for business startups. We stand by their side every step of the way, ensuring their success and fostering their independence. Through this support, they are empowered to contribute to the overall well-being of their families and communities.
School clean water initiative WASH
As part of this initiative, our team delivers 10 five-gallon jugs of water weekly to local schools in our program, ensuring that students have access to safe and clean drinking water throughout the day. By implementing this initiative, we not only address immediate health concerns but also promote a conducive learning environment. Access to clean water empowers students to focus on their studies without the worry of waterborne illnesses, ultimately fostering a brighter future for the entire community. Through the Clean Water Initiative for Schools, we're paving the way for healthier, more prosperous educational environments, one sip at a time.
We actively collaborate with the local water and sanitation agent to boost our efforts in serving our schools. Our partnership includes regular visits to schools for thorough evaluations of their water and sanitation needs. By closely working with local authorities, we strive to provide sustainable resources for enduring improvements in the school systems of Cotes-de-Fer and surrounding communities.
We firmly believe that every child deserves access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities. By instilling in them the values of responsibility and stewardship, we aim to teach the importance of caring for their environment and each other. Through these combined efforts, we are committed to creating a better future for our children and empowering them to thrive in a healthy and conducive learning environment.
