Skin infections are not cosmetic. In ultra rural areas, small cuts, insect bites, or scratched skin can quickly become dangerous infections. Heat, dirty water, and delayed care increase the risk. Early cleaning and simple prevention save lives every day in the field.
Children can't learn effectively in darkness or when suffering from chronic infections. By electrifying schools, improving nutrition, and providing treatment for common illnesses, we create safe environments for learning and development. In this way, education acts as a shield against poverty and social exclusion.
