Overseas Development

In partnership with NZAID, Overseas Development works with communities to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, particularly alleviating poverty and providing universal education.

Overseas development is managing an NZAID-funded project at Lomaivuna Rural School, Fiji, and a literacy, savings and micro-credit programme for 7,500 women in Kenya West. Fundraisers held over the past year also enabled bikes to be purchased for Salvation Army cadets in Tanzania and Malawi to aid travel to and from centres.

Into the future, Overseas Development will focus more on education, ensuring particularly women and children receive basic literacy skills. Projects continue in Malawi, The Philippines, and Kenya West.
