The provision of Educational fees, IT equipment and medical supplies together with assistance with sanitation and water filters, have all formed part of the initial work of the Charity. The programme is to work towards a plan of more widespread education, leading towards a move from an impoverished subsistence existence, towards a society that can afford to educate its people and develop an agriculture that will provide both regular basic food and also regular income No expenses are taken from donations.
