What this work means

Poverty can create urgent needs while limiting the opportunities that help families move forward. Our approach combines direct support with practical pathways that strengthen skills, livelihoods and household security.

Areas of action

Essential household support

Food, clothing and other useful items help households respond to immediate pressure.

Support for widows

03

Children and families

Community assistance has included food, schooling support and practical care for children in need.

04

Livelihood pathways

Training and tools support people as they work toward more stable and independent incomes.
