We try to lend a helping hand to as many African children and families in need as possible and to provide them with an efficient, cross-sectoral and sustainable assistance. Beside our projects on the ground, we also organise a number of presentations and programmes in Hungary so that everyone can discover the cultural and natural values of the African continent. We try to reach as great a public as possible, inform it about our work and win over new and new supporters for our cause. You can find updates on our projects and events by surfing the News.

Age 16, Nyamigende village, Rwanda

Nadia's village is a 10 minute walk from a water pump that WaterAid and a local partner rehabilitated. Before, the pump was broken and she had to walk to a swamp to collect dirty water, even when she was heavily pregnant.

Nadia says that the children in the village were often sick because of drinking the dirty water but they had no choice. She says that many women experienced problems during childbirth as there was no safe water to maintain a hygienic enviroment.

She is glad that she now has access to safe water close to home. She is looking forward to a brighter future and being able to have time to work to support herself and her son.
