Humanitarian Projects for the Month of January in Europe North Area.

In our role as Humanitarian Specialist we reviewed twelve (12) projects for the Europe North Area. After we research details we prepare a PowerPoint, and then submit them forward to be approved.

Once approved, all projects must be followed with a Letter of Donation and a plan for accomplishing the objectives. Here is a summary of projects approved in January 2023:

1. Repair and paint supplies for remote primitive primary school to sustain education in mountainous village. Labor to be donated by volunteers.

2. Laptops and overhead projectors for continuing education courses inside the Central Prison. The objective is to help educate prisoners.

3. Dirt floor shacks provided with a rechargeable solar light kit allowing students to read after dark for their education. No electricity is available.

4. Braille printer, eyeglasses and digital projector for blind and low vision students. This will improve their ability to communicate and learn.

5. Hygiene kits for 1300 inmates in a severely crowded prison. These items are not provided by prison.  

6. Waterproof mattresses to replace germ-infested, soiled, and broken mattress for disabled bed-ridden adults. They are very poor and live in shacks.

7. Replacement commercial oven in social center to prepare hot meals and teach culinary skills for employment. Many refugees are fed inside center.

8. Winter clothes for 1000 male Asylum Seekers living in temporary housing. Most fled with just the clothes on their back and enduring winter weather.

9. Food commodities for asylum seekers with young children who are in appeals process with citizenship.

10. School uniforms and shoes for 70 primary and secondary students who are refugees, allowing them to feel included with other uniformed students.

11. Laptops for an Information Technology Skills Career Development program for underprivileged youth. This allows them to learn technology and communication.

12. Emergency food for 88 people, who fled Gambia by boat, ran out of gas, rescued and brought to land. They have nothing to sustain them as they fled violence. Most were suffering from dehydration and hunger.
