About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
Hi, name is Nargiza. I am from Kyrgyz Republic, a small country in Central Asia. In the Department of Surgery in the Chui Regional Hospital of the Kyrgyz Republic, there is no shower room for surgeons. They do not have the opportunity to shower after surgeries. We would like to renovate one empty room, demolish walls, change pipes and install a new shower enclose. We would like to create comfortable working conditions for doctors as they save lives of other people. There is a link for our project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4BdRKA22l4 . Thank you.
