Community mobilization through awareness raising, capacity building, collective actions through self-help groups (mostly women), and promoting volunteerism both at the community as well as in the schools;
Enhancing access to basic needs and services through housing improvement, facilitating access to health and basic water and sanitation services such as organizing annual corrective surgical camps for cleft lip and palates, burn victims and victims of wild animal attacks and piloting eco-san toilets;
Increasing opportunities for education through supporting deserving students (mostly girls) to pursue tertiary education;
Enhancing livelihood prospects through income-generating activities, facilitating micro-credit for establishing micro-enterprises, and marketing of artisan’s products.
