Clean water for the children of Ngoyila, in Sierra Leone (West Africa)
In Ngoyila only around 10 % of the population have access to clean water. This is one of the main causes for the high rate of infant mortality in this region. The project ensures, among other things, that families, in particular, women and children have improved access to clean drinking water. Village communities use sanitary systems and apply improve hygienic practises. Groups of volunteers are responsible for the systems and are trained accordingly, for example, in maintenance.

Education for working children in Bangladesh (South Asia)
The project enables around 5,000 children who have broken off their schooling to be integrated into primary schools and to be supported. Around 800 working children complete alternative education modules in 13 education centres (70 % subsequently continue their education in a state primary school). Around 50 local child protection committees speak out in favour of protecting children and against exploitation and violence and offer around 2,700 working children protection from exploitation and violence.
