Haggana Village, Egypt

Martha is a mother of three children, including a son who has a learning disability. She must shoulder all the challenges both at home and in the hospital. She said that her husband is busy with his work and that he leaves her alone and does not share any responsibility. He does not express any appreciation and does not share the responsibilities of the household. Due to his lack of cooperation, she did not submit to him nor respect his opinion. Her love for him began to wane because of his neglect of the home and children.

The excitement of Effaoho locals knows no bounds, as their hope for pipe-borne water that has lingered for so long is about to be fulfilled. Borehole drilling is now underway with the survey completed. Prospecting for water and clearing of the drilling site is in top gear, and the contracted drilling company is ready to deploy their equipment to begin work in the next two days.

Chainpur Village, Nepal

This month, I had villagers build goat houses according to a modern style, using local resources and making it with low cost. I taught them to select quality breeds of goats and other cattle, plan for feeding, and the production of grass. When they keep goats, it produces good products they can sell and become successful by goat farming; this is one of the best income sources in this village. So, I have encouraged the community members to participate in goat keeping.
