The project Lak Daruwo specialises in the sponsoring of children which helps children and their families break out of poverty, receive nutritional meals, have access to better health care and basic education.  They have also played a major role in moblizing the community in the area that we work in.

Children are taken care of from a very early age – nutritional meals, medical attention with access to Professional doctors and a medical unit that monitors their health, growth and overall wellbeing are part of the benefits.

Direct assistance is provided with the provision of school fees, school books, shoes, bags, stationery and underwear. Those who drop out of the educational system are given non-formal education at the Morning Star School run by CCS. The Tuition programme is available to help the children with their homework and additional assistance in their education.

Lak Daruwo was instrumental in the Micro Enterprise programme which flourished through the formulation of Self Help Groups.  The mobilization of the community when at its peak had 60 groups which included 3 men’s groups.  There were 11 zonal groups through which the Micro Enterprise Development (MED) projects and loans were distributed.  This helped to empower and mobilize the community in new and innovative ways.

Through the Self Help Groups they were able to go on field trips and excursions. The majority of this community would never had this opportunity before.
