What we do:
In order to achieve our objectives we use our professional skills to generate an income for the organisation in order to mobilise resources for the needy. We have several departments located at different sites and from these we raise some small income that helps in the day-to-day administrative expenses such as organising meetings, travelling upcountry for sensitisation and educational tours, and so on. We travel to widow's and orphans' places of residence and get the feel of their problems.
