Empowering Women with Goats
We have provided 100 goats to 15 women groups in Bulambuli district, enabling economic empowerment and self-sustainability. Each group, comprising a minimum of 10 women, received goats to start their own herds, fostering economic independence and improving livelihoods.
Community Outreach for Sanitation and Hygiene
Through 30 outreach programs, we educated communities on sanitation and hygiene practices. We focused on topics such as safe drinking water, proper handwashing, and clean utensil management. By raising awareness, we promoted healthier habits and enhanced overall hygiene within the communities.
Sustainable Water Solutions for the Community
In schools and health Centre IV, we established solar-powered water purification systems. These systems provide clean and safe drinking water, benefiting students, staff, and the wider community. By implementing sustainable water solutions, we contribute to disease prevention and improved well-being.
