Orphan Care In many low income regions after natural disasters and conflict, or just as a result of poverty, children are classed as orphans even though it is not difficult to trace relatively near relatives, but they are unable to support the orphans. As a result, Humanity First endeavours to support as close to their home communities as possible. 603 orphans Humanity First has been supporting 603 orphans over the supported last year, mainly across Africa, with education and other resources.

In Sierra Leone, Guinea Republic and Liberia, Humanity First continues to support those children orphaned as a result of the devastating 2014-15 Ebola Crisis in . Many have suffered continuous health issues such as eyesight problems, but Humanity First is ensuring that they have the best chance to thrive through decent education.

Food Security With the global financial crises, people even in high income societies are struggling to cope, and those in lower income countries face absolute poverty.

In the USA, Humanity First has been running food pantries and food rations initiatives in 12 locations. During the year, 45,000 meals were provided from 28 crop milling locations in Atlanta, Chicago, Portland, Dayton, machines installed Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Wiilngboro, Jersey City, Zion and Silicon Valley.

In Europe, there was regular support for the homeless in the UK and France as well as ad hoc support for poor families across Central and Eastern Europe with a focus on the Balkans region.

Across Africa, Humanity First continued to install crop processing equipment in Ivory Coast and The Gambia, 45,000 meals provided and also set up farming projects to help farmers grow across the USA and earn from rice, maize, cous, cassava and other staple crops. In Ivory Coast, Humanity First has now installed 28 crop milling machines in recent years. These machines are used not just by the host village, but by surrounding farming communities who contribute to the fuel and up- keep of the machines. In Ivory Coast, these machines are largely for cassava processing, and save women hours of hard labour. Also there was a wide-scale distribution of emergency food packs for vulnerable villages. Distribution of In Canada, Humanity First has been running a large Food emergency food packs Bank for the Greater Toronto area for over a decade. Every year, almost 10,000 local vulnerable people are supported whilst they get themselves back on their feet.

Knowledge for Life Many new schools projects have started this year, and now 34 schools are live and a further 11 are under construction across 17 countries. Many of these schools are in remote regions of Africa or South Asia where the nearest school might be several miles away with no transport links. Teachers tend to not be attracted due to the lack of facilities, and many of these children will 34 schools stay out of education. Our new schools are providing built in total a beacon of hope, with books, posters and other facilities to enthuse teachers and children alike. Apart from school building, our teams have been renovating existing dilapidated schools through our ‘Classroom Transformation Programme’. This year, CTP was active in new countries such as Mexico, Tunisia, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone. The reaction from teachers has been amazing.

Vocational training is evolving as demand for IT reduces 34,650 students and the focus shifts to mechanical and engineering graduated trades as well as softer skills such as languages. In The Gambia, we have two centres near each other in Latrikunda. Since we began many years ago, we have seen 34,650 students graduate, the majority being women. In a country with a population of around 2 million, that is impressive!

Water for Life In Pakistan, our drive to alleviate issues with access to water continued at pace. A second solar borehole was established in Umerkot, and by the end of 2018, 120 hand-pumps and 425 wells had been established in different regions of the country. The wells have been focused on the Tharparkar desert region in the south east of Pakistan, whereas the hand-pumps have been 425 wells established deployed in Punjab, KPK and other regions. across Pakistan

The main effort is in Africa working with our partner IAAAE. A new drilling rig was deployed from Germany and was used to drill new boreholes in Benin and Togo. Many village water hand-pumps were sponsored by individual families. As well as doing new boreholes and pump rehabilitation projects, Humanity First has also been working with IAAAE to train local water engineers to be able to do installations and maintenance themselves, and we recently did a training course for 10 people in Burkina Second solar borehole Faso. By also sourcing hand-pumps and foot-pumps and established in spare parts locally from manufacturing hubs such as Umerkot, Pakistan Abidjan, Humanity First is trying to keep the water and sanitation supply chain local to Africa to maximise the opportunities and benefits.

Gift of Sight The Mobile ‘Al-Ain’ unit in Benin and Togo was deployed from Germany this year and has already treated 4,333 patients. The first mobile surgical unit is still deployed in Burkina Faso and has been used in many regions of that country.

The excitement in Al-Ain mobile unit of patients when they can first see again is magical.

Sometimes, our mobile units are parked near a hospital, but because of our backup generators, even when the hospitals lose power, our mobile units can continue to safely support surgical procedures.
