Need to act !

With more than half of its population living in poverty, this country is ranked 175th (out of 189 countries) in terms of human development by the United Nations Development Program. Many communities lack basic services: health, education, etc. Access to water and electricity is scarce, more particularly in rural areas. This project aims to promote the socio-economic development of the village of Kambaco.
