Our Focus Areas:

In response to the myriad challenges faced by our community—stemming from the legacy of wars and the impact of natural disasters—SCAN is committed to alleviating suffering and rebuilding lives. Over the past seven years, we have successfully reached 17,000 households across up to 70 villages, addressing the urgent needs of those affected by these crises.

To tackle the immediate challenges our community faces, SCAN has implemented a range of emergency relief projects, including:

  • Food Distribution: We provide essential food supplies to ensure that affected individuals and families can meet their basic nutritional needs.
  • Cash Distribution: Our cash assistance programs empower beneficiaries by giving them the flexibility to purchase essential items that meet their immediate needs.
  • Cash Voucher Projects: We facilitate access to emergency relief and recovery activities through cash vouchers, allowing beneficiaries to select their needs from various local vendors.

In response to the prolonged droughts and the resulting scarcity of water resources that have severely impacted the agricultural landscape of our country, SCAN is dedicated to enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security. We recognize the multifaceted challenges that farmers face, including climate change, socioeconomic issues, and limited access to resources, and we are committed to providing effective solutions to empower them.

Our agricultural and food security efforts aim to address the pressing challenges faced by farmers through a variety of targeted interventions:

  • Financial Support: We provide financial assistance to small-scale farmers, enabling them to purchase essential resources, including high-quality seeds and agricultural tools, to improve their cultivation practices.
  • Provision of Climate-Smart Seeds: Recognizing the limitations of traditional seeds in adapting to harsh climate conditions, we supply farmers with climate-resilient seeds that have a higher yield capacity and better disease resistance.

At SCAN, we recognize the critical role that infrastructure development plays in achieving sustainable recovery and fostering resilient livelihoods within communities. Understanding the profound impact that well-maintained infrastructure has on overall well-being, our organization is committed to developing and maintaining essential infrastructure that supports social and economic progress.

Through our infrastructure development initiatives, SCAN aims to create a stable foundation for sustainable recovery and improve the quality of life for individuals and families in our communities. By investing in infrastructure, we are not only addressing immediate needs but also paving the way for long-term economic growth and development.
