Reducing the high rate of separation between couples by addressing poverty, alcoholism and gender equality.Issue: We are working on the issue of divorce and separation of couples, which is a key component to other social problems, including poverty, HIV/AIDS transmission, and children not completing school.
Mission: To reduce the rates of separation and divorce in our community through mediation and counselingSolution: Initially working with 120 people from 4 different villages who have been identified as at-risk for separation, we conduct direct interventions in their homes, provide counseling, and training in financial management. We have targeted a number of issues that often contribute to failing relationships including alcoholism, ignorance of women's rights, and lack of family planning knowledge.
12-Month Goals:- 60 couples experiencing conflict or separation will resolve their issues and remain together; 300 children will be impacted
- Reduce alcoholism by 25%
- Will establish a savings and loan group so members and the community can both save money and borrow when needed
