The project is of vital importance for several fundamental reasons
Scholarship Students
In addition to the 210 primary school students, we award scholarships to students in secondary schools and vocational training each year. The scholarships cover annual tuition, accommodation expenses, school supplies, and uniforms. Here are our scholarship students for 2022 and 2023.
Biodiversity Conservation
The project significantly contributes to biodiversity conservation by promoting peaceful coexistence between wildlife and the local population. This is crucial for protecting endangered species and maintaining the health of local ecosystems.
Improvement of Quality of Life
By ensuring access to water during droughts and providing quality education, the project elevates the quality of life for the local population. Access to clean water and proper education are crucial factors for human development and the overall well-being of communities.
Reduction of Human-Animal Conflict
By implementing measures to mitigate conflict between humans and wildlife, such as improving water supply infrastructure and hiring a veterinarian, the project contributes to a more harmonious coexistence between both. This protects communities from damage and economic losses and preserves wildlife.
Promotion of Gender Equality:
By promoting female employment and ensuring access to education for all girls in the community, the project actively promotes gender equality. Gender equality is essential for sustainable development as it empowers women and promotes a more equitable and just society.
Contribution to Sustainable Development
Improvement of Human Health
One of the project’s fundamental aspects is improving the local population’s health. Ensuring a constant clean water supply significantly reduces the risks of waterborne diseases. Additionally, by providing access to essential healthcare services and promoting proper hygiene practices, the project contributes to disease prevention and strengthens the community’s overall well-being. This improvement in human health not only benefits the individuals directly involved but also positively impacts the socio-economic development of the region as a whole.
