"Before ELPA came to our village, many mothers were delivering at home without trained help. Through ELPA's RMNCAH program, I was trained as a Community Health Volunteer. Now I connect expectant mothers to the nearest health facility. We've seen a dramatic drop in home births and fewer complications."

"Our communities used to fight over grazing land every season. ELPA brought us together — elders from both sides — and helped us develop a shared resource management plan. For the first time in years, we are farming together instead of fighting."

"After losing my husband, I didn't know how I would provide for my children. The MAMA NA POINT program taught me to farm African leafy vegetables and connected me with a women's cooperative. Today I earn enough to send all three of my children to school."

"I used to miss school every month because I couldn't afford sanitary pads. ELPA came to our school and gave us pads and taught us about menstrual health. Now I don't miss any classes, and my grades have improved. I want to be a nurse when I grow up."
