0 School Toilets, Cameroon
We bring you news of a new sanitation project in Cameroon, where we have partnered with a community self-help organisation called Rural Development & Care Cameroon (RUDECCAM) to bring toilets to a rural community school in Njinjou to reduce outbreaks of cholera which have killed children there.
H5C members have joined hands with our long-term education supporter Roffey Homes to deliver this intervention.

0 Women’s Enterprise Loan Scheme, Uganda
Access to small business start-up loans and training are extremely hard to come by, if not impossible, in rural areas of Africa. This means that pro-active, entrepreneurial members of local communities never get to realise their dream of running a small enterprise to lift their families out of poverty. They are trapped by a lack of opportunity to develop themselves.
In Uganda, we have partnered with Busoga Volunteers for Community Development to rollout a Revolving Loan Scheme for women widowed by HIV/AIDS, the majority with children to support, to help these women to set up self-help income generating enterprises so as to liberate them from economic bondage / dependency and poverty.
