Some Community Projects

One of our goals is to help others in the community to start and maintain sustainable forms of income and to improve living condtions. Here are some pictures of a few of our projects.

Clean water is of prime importance and can drastically reduce disease when current water access is improved by water catchment tanks and drilling wells. Below are pictures of current water sources.









Education is of prime importance for the communities we serve. Below are some pictures of distributing school materials to students. Many families are too poor to send the children in their care to school.









Teaching villagers to get involved in making and selling various items can increase the incomes of families. Below are pictures of baskets being made along with candle making. Both items can be sold for extra income.













Showing the community the cattle that we have received from the CARITAS MADDO project. 50 households are to get a cow. So far 27 have been given out.

We are always thankful for visitors to our project areas. The pictures below are of some of our visitors, Marilyn and Norma Davis who came from USA and CANADA. We were very happy to show them around.
