Naki Ouest Village, Togo

Our staff member Okoro, alongside Sayi, has been working in the two villages of Blamonga and Tanloaga. In both communities, the structures for a Women’s Empowerment and Literacy Centre are standing, and the work is nearly completed. The buildings in both communities are identical.

Sayi also invested time in teaching the community dwellers in Blamonga proper hand washing and how to make local dish racks.

Thank you!

Upper Egypt Village Cluster, Egypt

Because of our Saft Al Laban clinic, health awareness has increased significantly in the village. Many misconceptions have changed through the seminars and health awareness sessions by getting new information.

Children in Bany Mazar, despite their extreme poverty, are creative, and this appeared on the day of creativity. Children used local material and resources to create crafts.

Understand to relax. Mirolla is a little girl who shared with us that she used to have headaches all the time without knowing the reason. She took painkillers at home without supervision from a doctor.

Attir Village, Kenya

The Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) of Attir are truly doing a commendable job as they continue with their work helping the community. It has reached the extent where CHVs are assisting patients who are not able to read their doctor’s instructions carefully, especially the old and illiterate. Since many villagers are illiterate, they are unable to read the instructions and take their medication as prescribed. CHVs have reached this extent by acquiring new knowledge, which has helped many and even contributed to saving lives.
