 Our aim has always been to have an integrated uplifting of village life and we try to achieve this in collaboration with the people of the villages. We are constantly looking at the lowest income areas of the villages and listening to the people who live there.
Thus our Programme reaches from tiny unwanted babies in our Foster-Mother houses, to the very old, whom we wish to help end their days in some kind of comfort and security. We help many, many children to go to school by replacing the money they would have been earning if they had continued to work, and this we promise to do for seven years. |
 We have a growing adult Programme which includes such things as health as well as crafts and basic reading and writing.
We build lots of good family houses and have now completed nearly 1,000 in the area where we work. Often we will build a whole new housing complex, complete with wells and meeting hall and a concrete floor area for drying seed crops, etc.
We have dug and developed more than 30 wells so that people can always be sure of clean water near enough and abundant enough for all their needs. |
 We have extended the accommodation of five schools in the area, or in some cases completely rebuilt whole schools.
We work in the closest co-operation with the schools around us, knowing that if we can somehow improve the quality of the education of the children we will then also be improving the whole area around us.
We are primarily educators, even though the greater part of our actual pedagogy is non-formal. |
 We try to reach the people through all possible channels and in doing so try to help them in their constant endeavors to improve their whole quality of life. |
