“The organization has sent our kids to school, empowered our mothers to start businesses, and now we are glad they are disinfecting the sewer lines to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.”
Government Support
Speaking to Ghetto Radio, exercise supervisor Aggrey Assembo Iddo emphasized the significance of SHOFCO’s work in not only eradicating poverty but also promoting a healthy lifestyle.
