Child welfare
- Supports a malnutrition team yearly reaching out to 400 undernourished children
- Runs a mobile clinic (mainly operating in dump areas)
- Runs a children’s village for orphaned, abandoned or abused children
Development programmes
- Runs a Unite Learn and Empower (ULE) livelihood programme for poor women and their families (reaching 1,100 people), including themes like nutrition, disease prevention, entrepreneurship, how to apply for a micro loan
- Drop-in for school children, helping them with their home work and arranging activities
