Promoting access to health care for the vulnerable, the needy, orphans and people with special needs. Community access to Sexual & reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to family planning, Safe birth, Freedom from Gender base violence (GBV), Sensitization on sexual transmissible infections (such as Hepatitis A, B, & C, Human Immune Virus (HIV), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis), and menstrual hygiene. We are continually striving to promote good health and well-being, which all have detrimental impacts on people’s lives. Hence, our goal is to encourage practices that help individuals live healthier and longer, while reducing the burden of illness on the society. A healthier workforce leads to better productivity and improved community engagement. We focus on improving the health and well-being of populations by addressing the underlying factors that influence health outcomes. 

We work to improve quality of life for all members of the communities we work, in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Our approach takes into account the unique cultural, economic and environmental context of the community and seek to address the underlying causes of poverty and inequality with the collaboration and cooperation among all members of the community, business and civil society organisations. Welcome to our community. Helping people living in extreme poverty is at the very heart of what we do. Together with the people we support, our partners and supporters, we help tackle root causes of poverty so that whole communities can thrive. In providing women, girls and children with essential health items, together we can improve the health of poor communities as a whole. We advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all; Gender inequality is a pervasive issue that affects individuals, families, and society as a whole. Gender inequality can take many forms, such as unequal pay for equal work, limited access to education, healthcare, and political participation, forced marriage, sexual harassment or violence and discrimination in the workplace. it’s important to work towards creating a more equitable and just world for everyone, regardless of their gender. 

We strive to empowering individuals and groups within communities through the acquisition of knowledge, skills and values. It is a collaborative effort that involves building partnerships between community members, local organization, and educational institution. Our focus is ensuring that poor communities have access to the resources they need to improve and sustain their health, especially in areas where capacities are strained. Our programs are designed to empower people by building skills and knowledge, strengthening access to information, tools and services. We also work to increase awareness about the social, economic factors that influence health. In recent years our work has focused on people who are harder to reach, and those with the greatest barriers to health, such as women with disabilities, ethnic minorities and indigenous people. We are understanding the inequality in access to health care and work towards reducing it. Healthy women =Stronger families =Healthy communities.

The health and well-being of poor communities is improved through a sustainable healthcare system that delivers integrated health services, better disease prevention and management and modern, accessible facilities. We build partnerships to improve access to quality healthcare in the poorest regions of West Africa. We support the training and deployment of local health staff and help build community confidence in their health systems. We work closely with local partners, communities and civil society groups to identify opportunities to improve healthcare delivery, strengthen health financing mechanisms, carry out research and advocate for change to strengthen community health services. We are your neighbors and friends. We are local volunteers working hard to change lives in our communities.
