Rural Education

Education at all levels is a key for livelihoods and better working lives. Orphans in rural villages are especially in danger to be marginalized and fall outside of all help and protection. We can help by supporting those who are creating possibilities for these orphans to go to school and have his or her basic needs to be met. We are all neighbors by loving our neighbor as ourselves.

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me" Matt 25:34-35

Compassion and Sharing

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn" (Rom 12:15), how beautifully expressed! Living together and sharing sufferings and sorrows, joys and successes, showing compassion and giving encouragement, isn't this a life to be a human? The original of the word 'compassion' means 'suffer with', a beautiful word, we can comfort each other and work together for a better life.

I would like to share the research work of prosocial goals and behavior and happiness with you here

Education, a Key

People need Education at all levels to be able to reach a rich quality life and meet their basic needs. The need to read and understand written text is a key for better wellbeing and the universial human right for all children in the world. Without education and a language for communication we are living in a darkness and without hope for better livelihood. Training and education is also a key for women and men to earn their own living and scope their own life. We can help our neighbor in collaboration with those who help people to read and manage their own language.

I would like to share my research work with you here

Basic Needs Not Met

Hunger, poverty and unclean and unsafe water and sanitation cause malnutrition, deaths and diseases and hinder people to earn their living. Traditional cooking and lighting cause diseases and indoor smoke contributes to deforestation and pollution.

It is estimated that 3300 million people are at risk of malaria and 1200 million are affected by neglected tropical diseases. People have no proper access to health care services and roughly 800 million adult people (age 15 or over) cannot read and write. There are roughly 1000 million hungry people and 3000 million are living on less than 2.5 $ per day. More than 3600 million people live in areas of physical and economically water scarcity and 2500 million people lack clean sanitation. Still around 3000 million people cook and heat their homes using open fires and stoves and about 1500 million people lack electricity and traditional kerosene lamps are most common.

What I can do for a better life of my neighbour? I would like to share my ideas and knowledge with you.
