Our programs

Targeted initiatives designed to create lasting impact in health, education and community resilience.

Support for widows and orphans

Welcome, support and psychosocial care for bereaved families. We distribute food and clothing and provide temporary shelter to those who have lost everything.

  • Food and essential goods distribution
  • Listening and psychosocial support
  • Temporary shelter in emergencies
“Everyone who came in was to be treated as a brother or a sister, no matter who they were.”

School campaigns (Back-to-school)

Distribution of complete school kits to orphaned and vulnerable children. We believe education is every child's fundamental right and the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

  • School kits: notebooks, pens, pencil cases, books
  • 300 kits planned in the 2026 campaign
  • Leadership, hygiene, values and dream-building workshops
“I want to make education free” — a child met during the campaign, who cannot attend school himself for lack of means.

Health campaigns

Free medical consultations in remote rural areas. During the April 2025 campaign in Doukoula and Kar-Hay, we treated malnutrition, malaria, gastric disorders, glaucoma and colic. The Kar-Hay district hospital — the only referral hospital in the area — has a single doctor for tens of thousands of people.

  • Malaria screening and general consultations
  • Eye consultations and corrective glasses
  • Medicine distribution and health education
Health campaigns

Women's empowerment

Vocational training in sewing, hairdressing and income-generating activities. A concrete example: a woman on crutches, rejected by her family, was trained in sewing by the founder's mother. She built a family, raised her children and now teaches other women. GRAOBÉ carries this model forward.

  • Sewing, hairdressing, income-generating activities
  • Support towards financial independence
  • Woman-to-woman transmission

Awareness sessions against violence towards women, distribution of essential products and creation of a “Women & Dignity” space. We also support women who want to leave a violent situation.

  • Awareness against gender-based violence
  • Hygiene kits and essential products
  • “Women & Dignity” space
