New Directions in Development
A better life for all

COVID 19
We provide education - water and sanitation - emergency food.
We also help communities recover.
HOW WE WORK
Our approach is based on a simple principle.
Members of the poor communities themselves are the people with the insights, determination, perseverance – and responsibility – to care for their own children and to improve their own situations.
We are:
Child-centred
We believe that children should be cared for in their own community
Community-based
Our projects are planned, managed and staffed by local people
Integrated
We respond to all the needs of children within their community
