Purchase a Land Cruiser - support rural projects

Summary

Daily travel to villages is necessary to complete school and drinking well construction, provide vaccinations, and transport staff to villages for project support, trainings and more.


More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The key to the Alliance’s ability to work with the most rural villages is the ability to communicate and work with villagers as partners in bringing about sustainable projects in the areas of health, education and economic development. All wells and school construction projects require supplies, and many health, education and economic development trainings require a larger vehicle. An 8-year old Land Cruiser has been used daily on rough terrain. The Alliance needs a replacement vehicle.

Activities

Transportation to rural villages will provide ongoing business training to rural village committees, delivery of cement and other construction supplies, delivery of vaccinations and mosquito netting, health agent and midwife trainings and more.

Funding Information

Project Message

The Alliance is working closely with villagers as partners. Many of the villagers lack self-confidence. The Alliance helps them build their confidence and helps them see their potential.
