What We Do

Our work can be categorized in four ways, while our founding belief that access to basic health services and education are integral to a thriving community cut across everything we do.

• Developing skills for life and work – Through formal and informal education and skills training, we give young people and adults the skills and knowledge they need to lead more productive and self-sufficient lives.

• Providing humanitarian aid – When people’s needs are urgent, we are able to respond promptly and efficiently. We also help people meet their food security and water needs, and support communities’ safe sanitation and hygiene practices.

• Reinvigorating the economy – A strong community needs a strong local economy. We work to strengthen local economies and protect communities from future shocks.

• Influencing policy – We advocate on behalf of the communities we work with, giving them a voice on a local and international stage, and ensuring their interests and concerns are considered at the highest level.
