Approved thematic areas

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

We focus on improving access to safe water, adequate sanitation facilities, and good hygiene practices. Its activities may include water supply and rehabilitation, construction of latrines, hygiene promotion, menstrual hygiene management, and community education to prevent waterborne diseases.

Health

We focus on improving access to quality and affordable healthcare services, promoting disease prevention, supporting maternal and child health, conducting health education and awareness activities, and strengthening community health systems to improve overall wellbeing.

Nutrition

We focus on preventing malnutrition and improving the nutritional wellbeing of vulnerable communities through nutrition education, screening and treatment of malnutrition, promotion of healthy diets, maternal and child nutrition support, and community-based nutrition interventions.

Education in Emergencies (EiE)

We provide safe, quality learning opportunities for children and youth affected by conflict, displacement, and disaster. Our programs go beyond academics — offering psychosocial support and structure that protects vulnerable children from exploitation, child labor, and early marriage while helping them rebuild a path forward. Focus areas: Temporary learning spaces • Teacher training & support • Psychosocial support • Child protection integration

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention & Response

We work to prevent and respond to gender-based violence by providing survivor-centered support, safe spaces, and community-led prevention programs. Our work includes case management, psychosocial support, and referral pathways to health, legal, and protection services — while engaging communities to challenge harmful norms and reduce the risk of violence, especially for women, girls, and other at-risk groups. Focus areas: Survivor support & case management • Safe spaces • Psychosocial support • Community prevention & awareness • Referral pathways
