2024

Picture
Highlights include:

  • Construction and opening of our fourth Community Learning Center in the rural village of Duahi. Residents have never had access to formal education and their new school will significantly expand opportunities.
 
  • Designed an innovative Vocational Education Center (VEC) for youth ages 13 to 15 to provide educational opportunities, reduce trafficking, and create paths to local employment. Construction of the four classroom VEC, and four new small businesses, was completed in December. 
 
  • Expansion of our women’s agriculture program to include a third village of women and the addition of health education meetings. This program was a priority as part of our food security efforts, because the region experienced its worst drought in 40 years, and food shortages are spreading.
