Lives are being changed

Food security

A sustainableFood Security community development program has been key to changing the lives of 41 poor farming communities in Africa.Malawi 2,369 men and 3,771 women who live in poverty attended training sessions in livestock production, environmentally-friendly crop production and storage, irrigation and water management, resulting in high yields of maize, cassava and soya beans. Training in health and nutrition resulted in a 37% reduction in the cases of malnutrition. Since June 20th 2010 3,500 mosquito nets have been distributed, resulting in 7,000 Malawians now sleeping under a mosquito net and having a decreased risk of malaria. Since then another 5,500 nets have been distributed. 247 of the farmers attended financial management training with the aim of opening bank accounts next year and income generation training was given. A “pass-on” program in chicken rearing will also be introduced next year until all families have chickens.

Zambia 1200 men and women farmers from 36 villagers were given seed and fertilizer and trained in environmentally friendly and sustainable farming techniques such as land preparation, organic composting and conservation farming. As a result all farmers experienced high crop yields. 10 Community fields of sunflower and ground nuts were established with the income generated going into a revolving fund to buy seed and fertilizer for the following year. Monthly nutrition and HIV/Aids-related education was given in all 36 villages. In the following year the aim is to introduce bee-keeping, vegetable gardens, fishponds and goats so that these communities can sustain themselves in reaching food security.

water & sanitation

clean water and adequate sanitation is a key to development

Malawi This year a wells program was initiated, providing fresh water to around 2,000 people in the villages where the Food Security program is in place.People used to draw water from a hole they dug in the ground or from local lakes and, as a result, both children and adults were regularly ill with diarrhoea and other water-born diseases. Now these families have access to fresh clean water close at hand. In some areas the wells are also used for irrigation purposes by affixing a pipe to the end of pump to water crops during the dry season. This will be a tremendous help in ensuring the village is food secure in the future. Viillage toilets and rubbish pits were also built, improving health & sanitation for men, women and children.

In Zambia 123 toilets were built for 817 people with facilities for soap and water outside each toilet. The plan for next year is to build 150 wells to increase access to clean water.

In all the schools in Bangladesh, India and Kenya, and in the medical clinic in Togo clean water and toilet facilities are provided along with training on basic health and cleanliness such as washing hands after going to the toilet and using soap. In this way habits are being formed that help to prevent disease.

education & training

education is a key to development

India The emphasis is on one low-caste rural village where the community was destined to remain in poverty. However the building of an English-medium school for 200 children in the community has resulted, not only in a high standard education over 5 years which sees some of the children ready for High School, but in jobs for local people, an increase in health and nutrition, sewing training which has led to women gaining employment and a “self-help” group where village women have taken responsibility for the welfare of their families.

Kenya In partnership with “Heroes of the Nations”, the emphasis is on rescuing HIVAIDS orphans and empowering them to become the leaders of tomorrow. This community development program houses and educates 500 children and encompasses both primary and secondary school as well as technical education in dressmaking, mechanics, ceramics, electrical wiring, home economics, computer training and knitting. The establishment of local businesses such as dairy and poultry farming, transport and tractors aims to generate revenue and job opportunities for both the graduating students and local people.

Bangladesh The emphasis is on three communities in the slums of Dhaka and one rural village, where 1200 children are given a holistic education that includes daily nutritious hot lunches, school uniforms, medical and dental care, physical education and all their school books and materials.The sewing class teacher in one of these villages who completed her education in one of the schools, was trained in the vocational sewing training class and is now the vocational training teacher.

primary health care

good health is a key to developmentTogo the key to community development has been the Jack McAlister Medical Clinic built by donations from Global Concern sup-porters. Over the last 12 months, apart from maternal health consultations and childbirth, the main treatments given at the Clinic were for Malaria, wounds, high blood pressure, digestive parasites, acute respiratory and other infections.

A program of educating local communities in basic health and nutrition, HIVAIDS and disease prevention commenced through the clinic and this year, with extra funding from AusAID, a health/nutrition worker and small team will be employed to travel to 50 villages around the clinic, assisting 30,000 people and training two voluntary health agents in each community.

The Amazon, Brazil A new ambulance boat has been built this year which transports sick people from remote communities to the nearest hospital for care. Other projects are being considered in Amazonian villages such as farming and other activities in a community development program. Two Global Concern boats will be used in these projects.

Malawi and Zambia By June 30th 2010, 3,500 treated mosquito nets had been distributed to communities where the food security projects are operating, reducing the numbers of children dying from Malaria. Another 5,500 nets have been distributed since then.
