We contribute to a better life through the provision of shelter and protection, safe water, improved sanitation, primary healthcare, quality education, nutrition and livelihood opportunities.

What we do
• Health and Nutrition: Increasing maternal care is among our top priorities. We work with women in remote communities to empower them with resources and information (through improved health and nutrition) to safeguard pregnancies, to ensure access to safe birth as a basic human right. We train community health workers, equip local clinics, carry out education campaigns, respond to disease outbreaks and advocate for improving the legal framework of rural health services. We are also committed throughout our programs to integrate HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria related information sharing, awareness into our activities to reduce the number of ill health cases and improve the general health conditions.
• Community Development through Human Rights and the Rights of the Child The main activities in this sector: Child Protection Programs; Gender based Development and Empowerment; Access to Justices Programs.
• Education: Our education programs primarily aim to promote education amongst the underprivileged children, youth and adults. We work to cater for the moral, spiritual and physical needs of these children and adults, particularly women, through appropriate education and training programs. We promote "Education for All approach" in the vulnerable communities with a significant attention on the education of girls. Vocational trainings, lifelong learning, education approaches and skills are built into our projects (in literacy, numeracy, communication and ICT).
• Food Security and Livelihoods - FSL Program: The intervention areas are: Sustainable food security and livelihood management, subsistence farming and natural resource management; Vocational training for the youth to increase employment opportunities; Micro-credit opportunities for vulnerable women.
• Water and Sanitation (WASH): Access to clean water is a basic human right. Global Aid Hand helps communities to build and maintain clean water resources and systems for human and their domestic animal consumptions. The goal of our WASH activities is to reduce the health risks connected to water bone diseases and to improve the life quality of the families by reducing time and distance in fetching water. Projects highlight the importance of appropriate sanitation practices that contribute to the health and life quality of the entire family. Approaches include educating people about good hygiene and sanitation practices to reduce the risk of ill health.
