Healthy Women: The Foundation for a Healthy Community
An important key to breaking the cycle of poverty is the pursuit and promotion of good health. When a woman is healthy, she has enough energy to work in the fields and the family reaps the benefits. When the mother blooms, her children are better fed and better educated.
Target group and projects
The target group of the projects in Angola are farmers, women and children. Farmers receive agricultural training and (pregnant) women are helped where local health care is inadequate.
Two projects have been running in Angola:
Sustainable Agriculture Training
Training farmers in the principles of sustainable agriculture, following the method of Foundations for Farming. The Angolan government asked our local team to train 29,000 farmers! People also heard the Good News and had the opportunity to work towards food security.
Health center for women
The health center “Árvore da Vida” in Huambo was built together with EO Metterdaad and the Elim Foundation, with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty for women. By providing good health care and education, Tree of Life has helped build the development of poor villages.
