What we do
Ten areas of work, one aim: communities that are healthier, safer and able to lead their own development.
Our areas of work
Each area connects to the others. Clean water supports health, health supports learning, and strong local institutions keep all of it going.
Community development projects
Community-owned projects that respond to what local people say they need, from first plan to final handover.
Education and protection
Support for learners, and for the safeguarding systems that keep children and families safe.
Health, water and sanitation
Quality health services, clean water and safe sanitation for communities that are too often left behind.
Advocacy and human rights
Standing up for the rights and dignity of vulnerable people, and giving communities a voice in decisions that affect them.
Safe, diverse and inclusive
Programmes designed so that everyone, whatever their background or ability, can take part and benefit.
Locally led, evidence driven
Local teams lead the work. Data and lessons from the field decide what we do next.
Climate smart, innovative and creative
Practical adaptation and mitigation that protects livelihoods and builds resilience to a changing climate.
Mitigation and emergency relief
Fast, coordinated response when drought, floods or other emergencies strike.
Capacity building
Training and mentoring for community groups, health workers and local institutions so change lasts.
Development partner collaboration
Joint work with funders, government and fellow organisations to reach further together.
Health at the centre
Access to dependable health care is the foundation of everything else we do. We work to bring quality services closer to people, strengthen the facilities and workers who deliver them, and make sure no one is left behind.
Health work sits alongside clean water, sanitation and hygiene, because prevention is as important as treatment.
