Sessions held in the village, with venue, refreshments and travel budgeted so attendance is not a cost to families.

Program · Awareness
The session that changes what a village does next season.
The problem
Rural families routinely miss out on schemes, health practices and skills that are free or near-free, simply because nobody has explained them in person, in their own language.
Our approach
Sessions held in the village, with venue, refreshments and travel budgeted so attendance is not a cost to families.
Menstrual and general hygiene, nutrition, schooling and basic skill development, adapted to the group in the room.
Honorariums and training materials are funded so sessions are led by people who know the subject.

Questions
Menstrual and general hygiene, nutrition, schooling and basic skill development — chosen with the community hosting the session.
Not at present. We run awareness and skill-development sessions; we do not issue formal certifications and will not claim otherwise.
Because attendance drops when a session costs a family a half-day's wage and a bus fare. It is a small line item with a large effect.
