Education
The vision of the child protection program is to build communities' capacity to protect and heal children, preparing them for a better future. Its goal is to increase positive relationships between children, their families, and the community in general and the target stakeholders include parents and caregivers, most vulnerable boys and girls, faith-based and cultural leaders, teachers, civil society organizations, government, and non-governmental organizations.

Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
Advocate for and provide access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to children, their families, and education institutions to promote child good health and education and give parents ample time dedicated to income-generating activities.

Economic development
This aims to elevate poverty by offering training to smallholder farmers on sustainable agriculture and natural resource management techniques and establishing saving groups for easy access to credit funds for improved rural livelihoods.

Education
