togo - Health/Health Education
The Health Education facet of the project saw incredible achievements this year. By training large numbers of volunteers to train others, the project was able to make a small budget leave a large impact. The project trained a total of 100 health trainers to undertake health training on the 5 key health concerns of Hygiene, HIV/Aids, Malaria, Tuberculosis and Nutrition in the 50 villages of Vo District (2 volunteers per village). Together these trainers conducted a total of 2,795 adult educational sessions attended by 4,061 people (892 men and 3,168 women) and trained 36 schools attended by 9,576 students (5,120 boys and 4,456 girls) and 193 teachers (184 men and 9 women). The project also gave targeted health training to 82 village chiefs and witch doctors, helping them to understand the benefits of modern medicine and the importance of ensuring villagers used the medical clinic when sick. The medical clinics that serve the 50 villages have reported a total increase in attendance of between 14-45%. Income generation activities are due to begin next year.
malawi & zambia - Food Security/Health
Overall this program has seen enormous drops in malnutrition of 91% and 96% in the respective project areas over a period of 3 years. This year the program directly helped 4,410 poor farmers (1,615 men and 2,795 women) and 30,870 others who indirectly benefited from the program. Men and women were trained in conservation farming techniques that allowed them to, in some cases, as much as double their yields compared with conventional farming techniques. Families received maize, cassava and fertiliser as well as more diversified crops such as soya, ground nuts, sunflower oil, and fruit trees. Over 3,580 seedlings were planted by 455 families to reduce soil erosion and protect the environment. 10 water and sanitation committees were set up in project areas throughout the program to oversee the building of water wells, toilets and rubbish pits. Aspects of HIV/Aids and gender were mainstreamed throughout all training, with 60% of local committees in one project being led by women. 203 people were tested for HIV/ Aids, and 2,048 people (554 men and 1,494 women) were exposed to awareness raising campaigns highlighting issues of violence against women. 2,795 women (of which 13 had a disability) were assisted to engage in sustainable income generating activities. Independent evaluations recommend this program continue for 3 more years. One person impacted by the Food Security Program is Mary Mbeu:
Mary Mbeu, a woman with a disability that limits her speech and other mental faculties, was being trained in farming and EHC provided her with maize, cassava, fertiliser and training to improve and protect her crops. Mary has 8 people in her household to look after, including one orphan, and she was struggling to survive. As a result of Every Home Global Concern's Food Security Project, she can now afford to purchase next year's seed and fertiliser and with the training she has received she is able to provide sufficient nutritious food for her family and even store some for the future. Mary hopes to remain self-sufficient for the rest of her life and is extremely grateful.
Lives are being changed as a result.

For the 1,100 students that attend our 4 schools, 96% of them complete their full primary education up to grade 5 and the majority go on to attend secondary school. Many thanks to all those who sponsor a child in Bangladesh as your sponsorship, not only gives the child skills for development, but also helps make possible programs to train women in tailoring and enable men to earn income through a rickshaw program. In INDIA a similar program educates 200 boys and girls in Primary School, the main difference being that all education is in English, to give them a better opportunity to be employed later in life. This year 47 new children were enrolled in the school and 35 children graduated to local High Schools. Land has been purchased and funds are being raised to build a High School to complete the English education for these children from a low-caste village. Also in India, vocational training and income-generation programs are made available for villagers as well as long-term employment as teachers, cleaners, bus-drivers, cooks and assistants. Many thanks for all those who support this India community development program through sponsoring a child. One person impacted by the program in India is Rosemary

She has four daughters and her husband is a daily labourer, with no job security. When she began the tailoring course she lived in a small mud hut with her family, struggling each day.
