Computer class in the library
There has been a huge demand for computer classes in the library ever since KAFO partner, Business Online, donated the first of 20 computers, so those classes started this month. Requests for Word training to prepare reports and Excel training to keep track of community donations, water purchases, and fees for medical treatment were frequent. Use of computers is expected to increase as KAFO and MSN support the community efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth. As the community leaders, Library Manager, and teachers become more comfortable with computer use, they will be able to teach the students.

Data for pre-natal and post-natal care, contraception, and childhood vaccination rates at the maternal and child center in Konkourona show good health seeking behavior as KAFO and MSN support the community efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Well Being. Results over 100% reflect the impact of hundreds of visitors from surrounding villages coming to the remote village of Konkourona to seek care.

Clearing land for construction of housing for teachers
Materials for the construction of housing for middle school teachers have started to arrive in Konkourona, so the community is working together to clear the land for the housing.
This year is off to a great start as the community works to optimize the development activities that have already been started and continue building a better future.
Thank you for your help in making this a reality!
