You can support a critical issue in rural Africa.
Clean Water & Adequate Sanitation. Secure Livelihoods. Adequate Food and Nutrition. A Healthy Environment. Primary Health Care – are all vital to the building of healthy African communities.
Clean Water & Adequate Sanitation
Only 56% of people in sub-Saharan Africa have access to clean water and proper sanitation.
CPAR provides access to clean water and adequate sanitation for rural African communities. Working with community members, we construct hand-dug wells, rainwater harvesting tanks, ventilated improved pit latrines and hand-washing systems. We also provide vital health and hygiene education for schools and villages.
When you support CPAR’s Clean Water & Adequate Sanitation program, you’ll bring the gift of health and wellness to rural communities in Africa and help reduce waterborne illness and disease and preventable deaths.

Building Secure Livelihoods
In sub-Saharan Africa, almost 50% of the population live on under $1 a day – the highest rate of extreme poverty in the world.
CPAR provides business training to farmers and small business owners and helps small-scale farmers to diversify their income sources (i.e. livestock production). CPAR also helps to establish and support credit and savings cooperatives to assist low-income households to gain access to revolving loans for small businesses.
CPAR’s works improves women’s access to education and training by creating awareness programs that challenge gender inequality and harmful traditional practices.
When you support CPAR’s Secure Livelihoods program, you’ll increase the income of vulnerable households, women, and People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and help them overcome poverty.

Adequate Food and Nutrition
More than 1 in 3 people in sub-Saharan Africa (12 million people) suffer from chronic hunger
CPAR works with local farmers to boost crop production and crop diversification by increasing access to improved agricultural technologies (i.e. ox ploughs) and providing training and education to farmers to help strengthen their farming abilities.
CPAR works with local farmers to help increase the production of nutrient and protein-rich foods and uses Community Nutrition Education to help community members develop healthy diets for the entire household. We also demonstrate how to use improved hygienic cooking practices as well as food preservation.
When you support CPAR’s Food and Nutrition program, you’ll give farmers the tools to grow more food for their families, reduce hunger and improve household nutrition.

Healthy Environment
The deforestation rate in Africa is four times the world's average.
CPAR works with community members to establish community-based tree nurseries and provide seedlings that rejuvenate farmlands and village soils. We train farmers on new irrigation techniques that reduce run off and soil erosion and raise awareness about environmental degradation through our conservation agriculture techniques.
CPAR is also introducing energy-saving stove technology to households to reduce fuel wood consumption and save trees.
When you support CPAR’s Healthy Environment program, you’ll help African communities create healthy natural surroundings that allow their families to grow and prosper.

Primary Health Care
In industrialized nations, 7 of every 1,000 children die from preventable diseases before they are five and in sub-Saharan Africa, that number is 174 of every 1,000 children.
CPAR prioritizes the health challenges of the most vulnerable individuals including, people living positively with HIV&AIDS, pregnant women and children under five, through awareness building health campaigns, community-based education and support for health centres which provide much needed community access to health services.
CPAR also works to fight specific preventable diseases like malaria and cholera through the distribution of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, training community health workers, and village level outreach education.
When you support CPAR’s Primary Health program, you’ll help reduce preventable illness and death among children under five and give them the opportunity to live long and healthy lives.
