Dear Friends,

First of all thank you for supporting us ever!

We have some quick news to share. In June 26 - 27, we visited 3 communities. We exchanged ideas and learnt a lot about each other. We meet a challenging case - disability from birth now age 17 always in napkins.

We had fruitful discussion with teachers, women groups and community leaders and; got our first 8 (2 single mothers and 6 Children) beneficiaries for our project. They benefited from a health care coverage scheme for a year through a mutual health fund.

Thank you once again for all your support. Do let us know if you like this feedback.

Thank you,

With regards, Anna Bebou OSANG. Head of Gender Unit
