Testimonials:
Joseph Gingo was a seven-year-old boy who was born deaf. His parents reached out to us for help with their son's education. PAHA with the help of faithful supporters we were able to enroll him in the school of the deaf. Joseph is now in his second year. During our end of celebration, Joseph’s father was very grateful for PAHA's support towards their son's education. The father added that, Joseph used to throw stone at other children because they used to bully him. Since he started school, he doesn't fight other children anymore. All thanks go to our generous supporters.

What Makes Our Organization Unique!

Our programs are community –based, and citizen initiated. The combination of the two factors has gained us easy access to the communities we serve and support from the villagers, local leaders, clergy and council members. We find the residents of the communities we serve, ready to develop their capacity to deal with their housing and water problems. The work and resources of many have a much better chance of solving a problem and to meeting the goal than the work and resources of a few. Both strength-based and needs-based approach make our programs successful.
