🏢 About the local organisation
Our local partner is the local branch of FAGAD at Esse. It is helped by the village development committee. We work with them for years. With our one of our French partners, we have built a recreational center with library and the creation of income generating activities.
💼 What the programme involves
. Theme:Support in terms of sensibilisation in terms of education on the methods to prevent IST/VTH/SIDA plus support and reading for the children ( library ).
The youth of rural areas is confronted with serious problems linked not only just to primary health care, but also to unwanted pregnancies together with illnesses transmitted in sexual activity, notably sida. We do not have much by way of finance, but we have an obligation to make a modest contribution towards mastering these scourges which seriously hinder the development of our areas, which, far from towns end cut off, are a little forgotten.
In addition schools and colleges are confronted with an absence of teachers of and professors. By way of this project, we will bring assistance to pupils in the area of their homework in terms of repetition or other educative methods.
Work to be done :
Organize sessions of programed themed sensibilisation / sketches ( theatre, and forum ) / discussions – debates on IST / SIDA and contraception / distribution of condoms and prospectus;
Assist teachers in the school / organize repetition sessions for the pupils at home / help them with their homework and follow them up in their researches in the library.
