What would you do?

Family sitting outside their home in Burundi

You chose to look into ways that you could reclaim your home so you have somewhere to stay.

You have reclaimed your home!

You spoke with your former neighbours who witnessed people stealing your property. You join our project in Burundi which helps vulnerable people as they settle back into their communities. You learn about conflict resolution and are given psychological support. You return to your neighbours and drawing on your new training, are able to ask them to testify for you.

They agree, your land is returned and you find peace as you focus on rebuilding your life.

Can you help others like Pascaline by starting a regular donation to Cord?

At Cord we’re committed to peace on every level. So, we help people in a holistic way. Our projects help people make a living, get help with trauma and relationship issues and develop more peaceful communities. When this happens people can look forward to educating their children, proper healthcare and all the other basic needs that most of us take for granted. They can face the future with hope.

And you can help. Regular donations to Cord can transform day-to-day life for people like Pascaline. Now a successful business owner and empowered leader, she not only has security for her family, she is transforming the lives of others in her community too.

Mr. Nek Phoumanivong stands in front of a simple wooden livestock shelter in Tam Village, Laos. Wearing a light blue polo shirt, he looks towards the camera with confidence. After taking part in Cord-supported training, Mr. Phoumanivong learned sustainable farming techniques, including producing organic fertiliser and raising livestock safely. He now shares these skills with other farmers in his community, helping families build more secure and sustainable livelihoods.
Lives changed
In Laos, the economy is built on agriculture and most of the population is involved in farming. Despite efforts to reduce poverty, there are still huge differences between urban and rural areas. Rural communities face deep challenges. Small-scale farming brings little income, and changing weather patterns caused by climate change make life even harder.
