Where we run

The problem

Health, hygiene, schooling, entitlements, basic skills — most of what a household needs is already available, and unclaimed. Our awareness and training sessions close that gap.

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

How we work.

01

Go to them

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

02

Practical content

Menstrual and general hygiene, nutrition, schooling and basic skill development, adapted to the group in the room.

03

Pay facilitators properly

Honorariums and training materials are funded so sessions are led by people who know the subject.

Questions

You asked.

What topics do you cover?+

Menstrual and general hygiene, nutrition, schooling and basic skill development — chosen with the community hosting the session.

Do you certify trainees?+

Not at present. We run awareness and skill-development sessions; we do not issue formal certifications and will not claim otherwise.

Why fund refreshments and travel?+

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.
