Partnership For Sustainable Aid

Development: PSA partners with poor communities as they develop appropriate clean water, waste management and sanitation solutions. Training through participation offers opportunities for communities to gain skills ensuring future sustainability and creation of new inputs. New Community Care Centers sponsored by local churches with the inputs from PSA and the community, offer adult education classes in some cases; others host community meetings and or childcare and/or nutrition programs for school aged children. Trafficked women, children & orphans receive ongoing care through facilities with trained care givers. They are provided opportunity to be reunited with their families or to be raised in a protected and nurturing environment. Young adults departing orphanage programs receive support for further vocational training to equip them with sustainable skills for independent living.
