Community development
In support of community development
Maintaining healthy, strong, supportive communities
Poverty can work havoc on communities, especially when those communities fall prey to natural disasters such as famine and drought - or manmade problems such as armed conflict and persecution. People become displaced, families and communities are broken up, and any services that are viewed as essential to basic survival very quickly displace other - no-less-essential - services such as access to schooling and support for the disabled.
Global Action For Development supports local communities at every level, from helping women and girls access education
to assisting those stricken by hunger, displacement and unrest.
