Our Beneficiaries

Children are the most vulnerable in our community, they have suffered as the living condition of their families have worsened, resulting in low income, and little schooling. Three out of five childrens had no schooling at all because of increase poverty level and famine from crop failure. This has forced their poor, disadvantage parents to decide who in the family will get to eat each day - and who will not?? ... That is why we started Tang'neduk Youthgroup, a Community Based Project registered officially with the Ministry of Gender, Childrens and Social Development on 7/3/2011.
