Pillars, programmes and events

Each of our three pillars holds a set of programmes, and each programme holds events that are dated, located and counted. Nothing we report about our impact is separated from a particular day in a particular community.

Nutrition sits within Health rather than beside it, because malnutrition is usually part of the clinical picture rather than separate from it.

Organizational Architecture

Pillars, Programmes & Events

Figures roll upward: dated events make programme totals, programme totals make pillar totals, and pillar totals make the organisational headline.

How we choose a community

We work where the gap is widest and where we are able to remain. Kunyami had no health facility of any kind. Toge's children swim in a river that carries schistosomiasis. Gosa's interior sections sit within sight of the airport road and outside the reach of the services along it.

We do not enter a community we cannot keep returning to.
