Artisans Ageing Well Project
This project involves capacity-building workshops and specialized trainings for workers whose trade involves making things through their hands or human labour rather than by mechanized tools. Targeted beneficiaries include masons/builders, carpenters, painters, tailors, electricians and other technicians. By their trade, these categories of workers are often exposed to hazardous working conditions that complicate their ageing. Thus, this project aims at reaching young artisans with trainings to improve their ability to professionally carry out their everyday work and to develop a career focus that enables them achieve healthy ageing.
Clean-Green Environments for Healthy Ageing Project

Activities here include: raising community awareness on environmental sanitation and healthy ageing; community advocacy for enforcement of environmental sanitation regulations and standards; capacity building on indigenous technologies for environmental sanitation and waste management.
