School Safety efforts need to take cognizance of all kinds of hazards that may affect the well- being of children. These may include natural hazards such as floods and earthquakes as well as manmade hazards. 

We do this through well-planned and comprehensive programs in health, education, livelihoods and disaster preparedness and response. We also focus on generating and sharing knowledge with diverse stakeholders to influence sustainable impact at scale. Our overall goal is the empowerment of women and girls from poor and marginalized communities, leading to improvement in their lives and livelihoods.

It is here that microfinance plays a pivotal role in providing sustainable livelihoods by stimulating small businesses. This enables customers to build financial, physical and social capital in terms of group cohesiveness, extending support to each other and developing business networking, in turn creating a social network in the local community.
