disaster relief Nepal Earthquake

In April of 2015 a magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocked Nepal. The quake and its major aftershocks resulted in more than 8,000 fatalities, 22,000 injuries and hundreds of thousands of collapsed or damaged buildings, destroying more than 10% of the country’s homes. Every Home Nepal sprang into action immediately, driving along precarious mountain roads to reach people trapped by mountain slides to deliver aid, food, water and protective sheeting for the building of temporary homes before the winter rains came. $56,876.52, so generously given by supporters, has enabled Nepal EHC to give immediate relief assistance of utensils, blankets and food to 24 families, life-saving rice packages (30kg packages) to 71 families and travel through rugged terrain with tin rooves and building materials to assist 130 families rebuild temporary homes.

“My family and I would have been destitute if it wasn’t for the help Nepal EHC gave us as our house and all of our possessions were totally destroyed. We are so very grateful.”

community development The Amazon

Living along the vast Amazon River are many remote communities with limited access to health care. In the remote area of St Antonio do Ica in 9 of these communities, Every Home is partnering with “Missão Batista Regular do Amazonas” to improve the health of men, women and children by improving the quality of their water, by training communities to dig latrines near their houses in order to improve sanitation, to educate about good nutritional practices and to see students in all communities offered education through the 8th year. As a direct result of this program, there are 633 people with access to fresh clean water and who now include fruit and vegetables in their diet (180 men, 153 women, 134 boys, 154 girls and 12 people with a disability) and 3 classrooms have been upgraded. The project is on track with its goals and many community members are showing initiative to improve their living condition and general welfare. Thank you to those who are making a real difference to the lives of men, women and children in remote villages along the mighty Amazon River.

Samoa

The EHC Samoa Vocational Training Project commenced training in February 2015 and has since graduated 297 participants (14 men and 283 women) from 10 training centres spread across both the islands of Upolu and Savai'i in Samoa. They also trained 12 Trainer of Trainers (TOTs) volunteers, 6 of whom were selected to provide ongoing training to local villages in the three key areas of floristry, stencil design, and sewing. Training in financial management and access to financial services and bank accounts was provided free by the Westpac Bank Samoa.

Thank you to those who gave to make all of this possible.

“Every week we have people placing orders for shirts, dresses, uniforms or printed fabrics to be made. Our sincere heartfelt gratitude to the people of Australia for funding this project.”

community development Malawi & Zambia

real making a

difference to thousands of Africans

The third year of the food security program (over a 5 year cycle) continues to be life-changing for farming families. Take, for example, Davison and Ellen who were tested positive for HIV/ Aids and joined a support group where they received training on how to live with HIV and deal with the stigma. They now have friends, eat balanced meals, own 2 goats and have replaced their mud house with a brick house.

MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE TO REAL PEOPLE! In Katete in Eastern Zambia there has been a 70% increase in crop production and a 63% increase in income while in Karonga in Northern Malawi 61% of total households are now food secure, having 3 meals a day all year round and storing 300kg or more of maize per family… a wonderful achievement in spite of both drought and flooding… and a testament to the conservation techniques being taught. In Malawi highlights have been a 98% reduction in cases of malnutrition among children under 5, an 85% reduction in malaria throughout the community, and a 73% reduction in diarrhoea as a result of building wells that provide safe water for 4,904 people. In Zambia, of the 3,654 farmers reporting an increased income, 2,971 were women and 6 women’s groups have been introduced to the

concept of Village Savings Banks.

Thank you to those who give to transform lives.

Such joy and excitement when fresh water starts to flow!

community development Togo After five years of a health and income generation program with Togo Every Home for Christ, an independent evaluation was carried out which found that the program was effective in changing the lives of 1,345 people (484 men and 861 women). One lesson learned was that, as many of the people are illiterate, health training needed to be adapted to include basic education. Women like the one pictured began coming to the Health Clinic to give birth rather than to have their babies in the village, resulting in less deaths of mothers and babies. The villagers began to attend the clinic when they were ill and practise personal and food hygiene - simple things like washing their hands with soap and water and using toilets - which resulted in fewer health problems. They began to practise disease prevention such as using nets to prevent malaria, safe sex practices to prevent HIV/Aids and their diets improved as they learnt how to include different food groups in their diet. 99% of the 197 men and women in the income generation project increased their income. The relationship between men and women changed as women blossomed, being proud of their earned income and financial independence. Thank you for those who gave to these special projects to improve health and save lives. This project has been extended to 2018.

Ethiopia

Every Home Global Concern works in Ethiopia in partnership with Set Befekadu & Eloi Prison Ministry, providing training and equipment, clothes, food and soap, beds and mattresses in 9 Ethiopian prisons.

In the last 12 months 787 men and women have completed training courses in sewing, grinding, wood turning and home beauty and some have begun small businesses. In one prison an irrigation pump was purchased to grow vegetables, and in another, a school is to be built for the education of the 3-8 year old children who live with their parents in the prison.

“Now we have learnt a skill, we have some hope for the future.�

India

real making a

difference to hundreds of families

When you visit the Love Anuppampattu community centre in India, you are struck by the smiles on the faces of men, women and children from the nearby low-caste village who are grateful to be given opportunities to be educated in English and to learn life-changing income-generating skills in tailoring. On a regular basis the school hall is crammed with parents and children to learn about hygiene, common diseases, first aid, immunisation, and nutrition as part of the health program.

Ten years ago this was just a dream and now, under the management of India Every Home Crusade, the village is ready for its own Englishmedium High School so that the poor can progress in their education. Land has been purchased, plans have been drawn up by an architect and the High School is ready to be built. Thank you so much to those who have given funds for the High School and have so faithfully sponsored the 200 children in the Primary School to make this dream a reality.

Child sponsorship in India & Bangladesh pays for all community development costs - an education & educational supplies, a hot meal each day, clean water, a school uniform, family health education, and sewing and rickshaw programs to increase family income.

community development Bangladesh Some years ago a community development program with education as its main component commenced in the slums of Dhaka and then in 3 other needy areas of Bangladesh. One of these locations, just 20km from the EHC Bangladesh office, was a small village where, according to our Bangladeshi National Director, 80% of people could not even write their own names! Education had been almost forgotten amongst the poor. Now you will find many educated young men and women, some even working in government offices and private sectors - thanks to the great start given to them through EHC’s primary schools. Each year EHC Bangladesh organises a seminar for the teachers to encourage and equip them as they care for the 1,000 students and develop their skills.

Education, sewing training and rickshaw ownership work hand-in-hand to change the lives of the poor.

Many thanks to the sponsors Sipon,

“

These schools are creating a difference in the society and our local government authority is happy to see that.

This program is really a blessing!

a past student, said, “I was able to graduate to High School and now I have a regular job in a metal working business. My life would have been so different without the EHC Primary school and I am very grateful.”
