Our Programmes

What we do, and why

Each of our four programmes deals with a different reason people stay stuck. Together, they give a family a real chance to move forward. All of them are free.

Programme 01 · Vocational training

Skills for Life

We bring the training to the community, not the other way round. Young people and women learn a trade they can use straight away, along with the basics of running a small business. Many go on to find work or start something of their own, and with it comes the quiet pride of providing for their families.

  • Practical trade skills taught by people who use them
  • Business basics and a healthy attitude to work
  • Free of charge, held right in the community

Programme 02 · Medical outreach

Health for Life

For many families, seeing a doctor means a long trip and money they don’t have. So we take the doctor to them. At our outreaches people get tested, receive medicine and leave knowing more about staying healthy, including honest conversations about sexual health and preventing disease.

  • Free health checks, tests and medicine
  • Simple, practical health talks
  • Sexual health education and disease prevention

Global Goal: 3 Good Health and Well-being

Programme 03 · Education support

Edu Care

A child can’t do their homework without a notebook. It sounds simple, and it is. We supply study materials to public and low-income nursery, primary and secondary schools, and we love watching what happens next: pupils who take part, push each other and start to believe school is for them.

  • Books and study materials for pupils
  • Support for public and low-income schools
  • A little friendly competition to spark learning

Global Goal: 4 Quality Education

Programme 04 · Food security

Farm for Life

A small patch of ground behind the house can feed a family. We show people how to make the most of it, what to plant, how to care for it and how to keep it going. The result is fresher, healthier meals, less money spent at the market and, for some, produce to sell.

  • Hands-on backyard farming training
  • Fresh, healthy food for the household
  • Less worry about where the next meal comes from
