PERSONAL HYGIENE AND PRIVACY
Personal hygiene is essential in the control of life-threatening disease and contamination. Privacy, especially for females, is essential in keeping the girl child in school. There is a constant need for good latrines with rainwater-harvesting, hand-washing stations at almost all African schools. Depending on the size needed, a latrine can cost between $3000 and $7000. As we receive enough unrestricted donations that are not specifically earmarked for another project, we often use them to construct yet another latrine facility at one of the schools or community centers where we serve.
ongoing ProjectS
EDUCATION
Almost 60 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa between the ages of 15 and 17 are not in school. Most of them are girls. Teaching girls about menstruation and how to sew reusable pads, and providing teen sponsorship's, is reducing these numbers. |
WATER AND AGRICULTURE
This is a picture of Khufikoko Spring in Western Kenya before and after we provided a way to turn muddy, bacteria-infested ground water into clean, clear drinking water. Each spring we refurbish costs approx. $1500. Each spring provides clean water for 20 to 50 families. Each family can have 3 to 10 children. Each spring is a blessing in the lives of a lot of people. That is money well used. |
HEALTH
When a child is ill they cannot attend school, thus their chances of becoming self-reliant are slim. We focus on wellness by providing vaccines, medical supplies, and medical clinics where our doctors and nurses work with local medical people to teach surgical and medical techniques. |
$1 Projects
Not everyone has a lot of funds they can donate to help others, but EVERY dollar can make a huge difference.
When many people each donate $1 to complete a much needed project the results can be astounding.
