Executing projects aiming towards promoting Eco-tourism & Hospitality, Environment Protection, Culture Conservation & Restoration, and preparedness and or prevention from the negative impacts of Climate Change esp Disaster such as drought, landslips, extreme wet weather conditions etc
Basic health services are very low esp in remote areas that we work, therefore we prioritize improved health outcomes for the people via advocacy and capacity strengthening of community level health systems. Our priority focus areas include (i) Water & Sanitation, (ii) Basic Health Care support and (iii) Local health systems capacity strengthening
With our strong partnerships with grassroots community groups and agricultural cooperative societies in remote areas and their respective service providers in urban centers, we become a bridge to link their services for economic gains and sustainable growth via our capacity building and strengthening of grassroots entrepreneurs through SME Development Project SME Capacity Strengthening Project
Since most of our target communities are located in rural areas, we prioritize agricultural interventions as 99% of the populations build their livelihood around agriculture via Agriculture Development Initiative and increasing access to markets.
Poor access to transportation services has been an hinderance to daily livelihood in these remote communities that we work therefore facilitating increased access to transportation is our key priority as basic government services will reach remote communities and also remote communities will transport agricultural produce out to markets in urban centers. We have started subsidizing air freight costs (only available means) for our coffee farmers in Gema, Yalia LLG in Obura Wonenara District of EHP and will continue to seek funding support to increase access for our people. Some of these communities are inaccessible by road.
Facilitating access to improved education services (both formal and informal) continues to be a challenge in this remotest part of the country. It remains our priority to continue supporting via formal education basic facilities for students and staff and also literacy for adults as literate populations are better informed and can absorb information for improved livelihood. Sometimes our volunteer teachers make commitments to provide nutritional meals for children/students after classes as shown in the picture
In remote communities where rule of law is weak and Police presence is non-existent; the only means is to strengthen the existing community justice systems. We are more focused on supporting in our little ways the traditional justice system and peace mediation processes to improve rule of law.
