Central African Republic
Passing on competences to maximise impact in the field
The Central African Republic was long torn apart by civil war and the remnants of the conflict are still a danger to the population. To protect as many people as possible, in addition to its own actions, HI passes on its competences. This summer, HI worked with two new local NGOs to train them in explosive ordnance risk education so they can to go out and support at-risk communities.
Colombia
Promoting food sovereignty
As part of its victim assistance projects, HI has been helping the inhabitants of Cocomaseco (Chocó) to increase their knowledge and resources. Thanks to fish production, new rice seeds and training to improve cultivation and breeding techniques, harvests have increased and the community can continue its agricultural and culinary traditions.
Ecuador
Inclusive Education: Exploring and flourishing
In Quito, one of HI’s partners – the popular education school, Inepe – gives children the opportunity to venture off the beaten track to explore their links with nature, music and art and develop new knowledge and competences!
