This project is continues with significant progress. The project is engaged with 70 families that make up Balan Village and will provide safe housing, clean water and sanitation, life skills training and access to microenterprise opportunities over a five-year period. This approach will improve the quality and stability of the livelihoods and the surrounding environment as residents will be able to realize their potential by increasing their personal capacity and productivity, adopting and implementing better management practices and having access to additional services. The project follows a comprehensive approach to community development that includes not only sound and appropriate house construction and infrastructure improvements, but also essential interventions in capacity building, socioeconomic development and life skills training.
