Strategy Implementation
Making Strides in Eradicating Extreme Poverty and Hunger
We build partnerships and raise resources for the world’s most vulnerable people by providing customized services tailored to help communities manage their own development needs.
Through different programs, we provide clean water, food and nutrition, education, relief and resiliency, global health, community development, environmental sustainability, child survival, and women and girls empowerment.
We are breaking the cycle of extreme poverty and violence through education and sustainable job creation in the Nuba Mountains, Darfur, Blue Nile, South Sudan, and Refugee Camps and slums in Kenya and Uganda.
Our Programs
Food
Tackling Mass Starvation and Malnutrition
We address hunger and malnutrition head-on by helping small farmers in the war-torn South Kordofan increase production and sell more crops as the best way to combat global hunger and poverty
Water
Digging Wells & Installing Hand Pumps
Due to the lack of drinking water women & children are forced to travel great distances in search of water. Many still lack access to safe water often face obstacles like discrimination and long droughts.
Health
Effective Healthcare Interventions and Immunizations
Poverty and health are strongly linked. Health problems can plunge people into poverty or keep them from escaping it, and those in poverty are more likely to suffer disease because of lack of treatment.
