Our Approaches

Our Approaches

The programme aims to improve existing services at community clinics as its top priority, with a focus on especially improving child and maternal health.

This is done through implementing 35 long-term area development programmes (APs), forming partnerships with village/ urban development communities, HNW sub-committees and key stakeholders. Services are mainly provided in hard-to-reach areas and to the most disaster and poverty vulnerable communities. WASH services were particularly addressed as it was identified as the least accessible by 35 AP communities.
