        The severe poverty in rural
   Cambodia means diseases like malaria, dengue fever and TB are dangerous. Half the children under 5 years old suffer malnutrition. As ALWS partners train Village Health Volunteers, you can support the building of a local Health Centre to serve one commune of 10-14 villages in the Oral District. You help provide life-protecting health-care to
            around 800 people.                   Health Centre $11,650
In Sudan, clean
water helps keep
children safe from
disease. Home gardens
can flourish. Having

                                     In Nepal, poor
                                     communities are
                                     desperate for
                                     the children to
                                    receive an
                                   education that can
                                   set them free from
                                 poverty. You can
                                completely restore
                                a school of 10
                               classrooms, using
                              bricks, stone, sand,
                           cement and wood. The
                         school looks after the
                        labour. When completed, these schools can cater for between 150-400 students. 16 schools needed. School $4,200
