See Examples of What we do

We offer training programs

Our first goal is to educate and provide those in need with skills that can enable them carry out income-generating and sustainable activities. We target school dropouts, youths and adults who don't have access to education or can't afford to pay for the studies they need. We believe that good education is the key to an independent life without relying on the government.

We collaborate with hospitals and health centers

In collaboration with clinics, hospitals and health centers, we help the sick and disabled, especially those based in rural areas by providing them with basic health care, subsidies for hospital bills and equipment for disease prevention and control. We believe that good health is the best asset they need in order to carry out the projects they have in the rural areas.

Emergency interventions in times of crises

When there is a crisis affecting disadvantaged persons like women, children and the handicapped, we send our teams to the field to assess their needs and then we carry out fundraising to meet some of the needs. Such crises include natural disasters, man-made disasters, armed conflicts, war, genocide, etc. We try to provide basic necessities like food, water , clothing and shelter
