High cost of poultry feed in Kenya poses major challenges to households producing poultry meat. Fly larvae as animal feed offer an innovative solution to this. With a nutritional value similar to that of fishmeal, the larvae offer an alternative to other protein feeds. The project therefore aims to use organic waste from households in informal settlements to breed fly larvae under controlled conditions. Project goal: (1) Cost-efficient feed for poultry production (2) Reduction of landfilling of organic waste (3) Reduction of CO2 emissions by reducing rotting processes (4) Improved animal nutrition (5) Establishment of small companies for feed production (6) Know-how transfer for larval production

In the year 20/21, a residential building was built in Kantafu, an outskirts of Nairobi, for a residential group with employment opportunities for young adults with intellectual disabilities who cannot be looked after and cared for by relatives after their school years. The newly developed Kantafu district is not connected to municipal services such as water, sewage and electricity. Our property already has a septic tank and a solar power generator, but the most important thing is missing: clean water. Our project consists of a deep well that ensures access to clean water for the residential group, the neighboring schools and other facilities being built. In total, around 1500 people in Kantafu will benefit from this project.

In Indonesia we have a particularly effective opportunity for intervention to reduce the risks of plastic pollution locally and globally. Our Plastic Free School program is designed to change one of the most critical factors contributing to plastic pollution: plastic habits. The aim of the project is that, as a result of the educational activities, our primary target group, school children, have a high level of awareness and knowledge about the risks of plastic pollution and that their plastic behavior changes sustainably. To do this, we train teachers (secondary target group) to be multipliers and give teachers the necessary tools (methods, teaching materials, modules) to enable children to have a plastic-free future.

Unwanted pregnancies during adolescence often end girls' education in Burundi. This comes with the risk of being rejected by society and family because these girls are unmarried. The General Directorate of Basic, General and Pedagogical Education reports 2018 cases of pregnancy in primary and secondary schools for the 19/1.268 school year. In addition to a lack of sexual education, sexual assaults also contribute to this phenomenon. This is where our project comes into play with the goals of improving the mental health of those affected, reducing stigmatization and exclusion, promoting their family and social integration, thereby enabling their school or professional reintegration and promoting social cohesion.

The main aim of our project is to contribute to the nutritional status of the children educated in the ASB community after-school care centers. The ASB operates municipal daycare centers in the above-mentioned provinces, where children from poor and vulnerable families are cared for. Thanks to the efforts of the Boy Scouts, these children eat at school, but sometimes their diet is not balanced, which leads to diseases such as malnutrition. To achieve this, the project will strengthen the skills of childcare center managers in the areas of food security, nutrition and advocacy, establish nine community vegetable gardens and hold a competition to support five good initiatives in the areas of food security, nutrition and advocacy.
This project distributes high-efficiency stoves to needy families with children at La Espero kindergarten and the surrounding community made up of Rumonge returnees. The stoves have improved combustion, reducing air pollution in homes and its negative health effects. The stoves also require less firewood, which protects forests, makes the tedious work of collecting wood easier and reduces CO₂ emissions.
Many of the families use inefficient cooking systems. These traditional cooking systems consume a large amount of fuel and produce a lot of smoke, which can lead to harmful effects on the health of children and women.
The main objective is to care for 60 girls' mothers and women who have been victims of human trafficking in the Arabian Gulf countries and to provide them with activities that will enable them to become socially and economically self-sufficient. They are trained in tailoring (garments, sanitary napkins, clothing, etc.), entrepreneurship, savings and credit in order to create or maintain permanent employment. These girls and women have completed secondary school. It will be easy for you to learn the profession quickly using the preferred method of learning by doing. We want to look after these deported girls and women so that they do not get the idea of returning to human trafficking, and those who were on the way there should not try again.
