As our partners, you can rely on us to provide the technical expertise and decades of experience necessary in our programmatic areas which is H.E.L.P (HEALTH, EDUCATION, LIVELIHOOD AND PROTECTION)
HEALTH
At KHAN we believe that all interventions
will only add value if the recipients of
interventions are healthy. Health truly is
wealth.
KHAN plays an active role in providing and
increasing access to qualitative preventive,
promotive, curative and rehabilitative
health services.
We are active in health education at
community and individual levels providing
critical information on areas such as
nutrition, sanitation and hygiene.
We also develop, strengthen and
maintaining referral systems as well as
providing HIV/PMTCT prevention services
including testing and counselling, antenatal
clinics and drug adherence monitoring.
We support and facilitate the treatment of
ailments including surgical procedures
when necessary. We also render growth
monitoring and conduct regular monitoring
of child health status using standardized
national tools.
As food and nutrition are an integral part
of maintaining good health, we also
conduct household food needs assessment
as well as engage households and
communities on food production, storage,
preparation and general nutrition education
EDUCATION
Education unlocks the barriers and shackles
of poverty. Like a lit candle, education shows
the way for a people to unlock their true
potentials.
At KHAN, we are convinced that every child
(and indeed everyone) deserves a good
education. To achieve this desire, KHAN is
involved in identifying out of school children
and children most at risk of dropping out of
school. Working with their households and
communities we work towards ensuring that
the barriers to having an education are
reduced or eliminated.
Enrolling or reintegrating children back to
school is not enough so we work even harder
to ensure that the children remain in school,
attend school regularly and that academic
progress is tracked by us and more
importantly by the caregivers. We also
monitor the schools to ensure that teachers
are also committed to their jobs. We provide
life skills training particularly to children 10
years and above.
KHAN is also involved in building and
strengthening structures in the educational
structure including Parent Teacher
Associations, School Management Boards
and Local Government Education Authorities.
We are also involved in the building of
capacity of teachers and developing Early
Childhood Education and after school educational programme
LIVELIHOOD
Poverty cannot be eliminated if people and
households are not economically self-reliant
as to be able to provide for their needs.
KHAN is involved in mapping the resources
available at community and state levels (e.g.
microcredit sources, micro insurance,
government and private sector players),
providing financial education to households
as well as linking households to vocational
and business skills training.
KHAN is also active in facilitating the
formation of business structures-
cooperatives, village savings and loans
associations, savings and internal loans
associations- to mobilize resources and
financial assets for economic activities.
Business structures and mapped resources
are matched to provide sustainable income
for vulnerable households.
KHAN also facilitates agricultural extension
services including operating and promoting
the operation of community farms and homestead gathering
