What We Do
Capacity Building
Many developing countries are limited by poor professional skills, inadequate information, lack of equipment and resources required to successfully grow in different sectors. The health and educational sectors are most affected by these inadequacies. As a result, there have been several cases of wrong diagnosis, misdiagnosis and poor teaching methods in schools. International Basic Aid is dedicated to instilling competency in individuals from impoverished countries to enable them to fulfill their jobs to a greater capacity and render professional services to people in need.
With the aim to provide a long-term solution to third world problems, our organization will focus on different approaches to provide capacity building services. First, we will provide access to repositories of information and resources (for example, databases, libraries and web sites). We will also offer updated publications relevant to the educational and health sectors. Our team of specialized professionals will facilitate trainings (public, customized or online), consultations (coaching, advising or research) and coordination alliances. At International Basic Aid, we believe that empowering professionals from impoverished countries will go a long way in ensuring citizens of these countries get access to high-quality services.
Education and Training
Lack of education is a leading cause of suffering and death in impoverished countries. Currently, 750 million people around the world are unable to read and write. Two-thirds of these people are women. An inability to read and write often results in accidents and preventative illnesses. At International Basic Aid, we are focused on providing education and training to individuals around the world who have never had the chance to sit in a classroom. Our educational and training programs will focus on basic learning pillars relevant to the needs of people in impoverished countries.
A specialized team from International Basic Aid will conduct educational and training programs with the intent to enhance the knowledge and skills of people from developing countries. Communities will be trained on how to mitigate the spread of diseases, taught methods to improve sanitation and educated on the negative consequences of some traditions such as the female genital mutilation (FGM) which is a common practice in most African societies. We believe that through knowledge sharing, we are empowering individuals to become more aware of their environment and live more fulfilling and healthy lives.
