In the Ejere County there are 27 rural Health Posts and 4 Health Centres. The Health posts, which are without mains electricity or running water, serve around 4000 people, and are staffed by Health Extension Workers (nurses with nine months training.) The Health Centres have fully trained nurses and midwives but the whole region has no doctors.

It is not only access to schools, but the quality of schooling that is vital to maximise the benefits of education to children.  In order to boost the capability of the schools, we have been providing equipment to many of the schools in the area.
