Following the first five year evaluation of our work, we have increased emphases and funding on projects that support women, children and the girl child. This means that we would continue to promote sustainable development goals in disadvantaged communities in Africa through our various interventions especially in maternal, newborn and child health, sexual reproductive health & rights and water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH). The centre for development and community welfare, therefore believe that sustainable changes and viable development interventions are needed to inspire and empower people to create a just and equal society free from poverty and disease. In both UK and Africa, most of our programmes centers on women who are the key breadwinners and economic architects of the society. Our approach and strategies are community driven to instil greater involvement and sustainability. The overriding goal of our Africa programme is supporting disadvantaged communities to transform and improve their wellbeing.
