Education Assistance – Provide funding for children in primary or secondary school and young adults pursuing college or advance training. Elementary education is provided tuition-free by public schools but families are responsible for the cost of uniforms and supplies. A child cannot attend school without a uniform. In rural communities, schools are regionally located, often requiring children to live away from their families in order to attend school.

Health Care – Address desperate health care conditions with a focus on rural outlying communities and an emphasis on decreasing maternal and infant mortality. Medical facilities and medical insurance may be available for those who can afford the relatively high cost. But, payment, often required up front, can be an obstacle for the many families as is the distance that must be traveled to get to the medical facilities. Many of the medical facilities rely on outdated equipment and have limited treatment options available.
