Project’s Background:
Join hands with other volunteers and community members to eradicate regular outbreaks of cholera, malaria and typhoid in this community because of a lack of decent water and sanitation. For 3 weeks, give your manpower and generosity towards this project. By doing so, you will bring a future to the have nots. Your presence will be appreciated, meeting humble members of society with a big smile, just to welcome you anytime in their house.
This community has gone through different challenges and is located in one of the regions which is highly affected with HIV /Aids and low life expectancy. There are quite numbers of orphans who cannot afford basic daily needs and will be among the people who will benefit from this project. The Mamas of this community came together to improve the maternal health in their village. They have received a bit of funds but they are looking for volunteer manpower to move a step ahead.
Apply now to provide these vulnerable people with water and sanitation to improve their living conditions. Also bring your share to achieve Global vision 2015 of better sanitation & clean water for all.
Criss cross the World to improve the living conditions in the Global South
