We work for the upliftment of the poor and destitute by helping them achieve socio-economic independence, self-sustainability and health. We do services such as providing educational and health services to the needy, mainstreaming marginalized street children, making low-literate youth employable and empowering women. We help those in need with full respect, love and commitment, with the aim to not deliver charity but to empower them to better their own lot. Working to serve children, families and communities living in the context of poverty and injustice. We work with government, communities, and other key partners to reach health systems, rural development and improve the quality of services in effective and sustainable ways.
