Sometimes the larger aid agencies lack the local knowledge to be effective on the ground. People First is able to work directly with local people and genuine grass roots organisations and provide them with the assistance they need. We need urgently to install deep water handpumps, provide new livestock,help repair damaged houses,and help expand preventative health care programmes. Blankets and medicines are still needed.
People First a local organisation is uniquely placed to ensure aid and assistance actually reaches those who are in the greatest need. The priorities are clean water, preventative health care, housing and an opportunity for victims to earn an income
Total Funding Received to Date: $8,165
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $31,835

This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
Of course this is primarily an humanitarian appeal. But through education about new organic farming methods and the constructive involvement of committed local organisations a framework can be built for positive and lasting change
Only through building trust through transparency and honesty can communities be truly helped to better their circumstances. They have been let down, to many times by to many people. This has to change
