It could be the most fulfilling, challenging, emotional, worthwhile, memorable experience of your life. You could help building (not just professional builders), painting or beekeeping; help with childcare, physiotherapy, carpentry or sewing training, sports, music, TEFL, classroom support or mentoring teachers!

We’re delighted to share that one of our partner organisations in Kenya, RuCWEP (Rural Children and Women Empowerment Programme), celebrated World Food Day by showcasing its work in agroecology and sustainable food production.

The event brought together organisations and champion farmers to share their products, knowledge and practices. RuCWEP did brilliantly, taking home two trophies: Best in Agroecology Diversity and second place for Use of Herbs and Food Supplements!

Through our partnership, HATW is proud to support RuCWEP in promoting agroecology – approaches that help communities grow nutritious food, protect the environment and build resilience.

💙 Good luck, Betty! 💙

Betty is one of Hands Around the World’s sponsored students in Zambia and is currently undertaking a one-year specialist course in Critical Care Nursing.

Betty has shared this update with us:

“This is my first day of my first placement in the ICU ward, as we wait to receive a patient from theatre.”

It’s wonderful to see Betty putting her learning into practice as she develops her skills and knowledge in this important area of nursing.

We’re so proud to be supporting you on this journey and look forward to hearing more about your progress!

More from our Global Handwashing Day celebration in Kenya!

Drama, poetry, dance and music were all part of the fun as children from four special schools used their talents to share important messages about handwashing and good hygiene.

Their creative performances really brought the theme to life and ensured the event was enjoyed by all!

The event was coordinated by HATW Field Officer Salome Mwaniki as part of our Breaking Down Barriers to Education project, supported by Monde par la main / Give a Hand.

A big well done to all the learners and teachers involved!
