Health

We are undertaking the task of improving of regional or village wells or water springs/fonts.

Farming

Animal husbandry (Cattle, Goats, Pigs, Fish and Chicken) and Farm Gardens for Cereals and Fruits

Education

We Want to Empower Rural and Slum Children and Women through Education.

Here are a few facts

In most slums and villages cows and other animals drink from the same source as the people and this eventually causes several hygienic problems especially: Cholera, dysentery etc.

In slum areas, several families drain their toilets through the same water sources which causes greater harm.

We want to improve on this situation beginning with school children and those areas that are most densely populated in the slums and rural areas.
