| The transfer of knowledge and resources is essential to improving education in Tasajera.

Our research shows that Tasajera community members are vulnerable to multiple medical conditions, a state that is exacerbated by the lack of public medical services. EMANA, together with its partners, will engage in part 2 of the Health program which started in 2016. Our main objectives include the provision of medical supplies/resources to community, provide free medical related services by certified volunteers, collect health-related data from Tasajeran people, and to train local community to address health-related risks.
Completed Project:
Tasajera Summer School project
For a period of 8 weeks we hosted 75 kids, youth, and community members to impart free classes of different subjects including Reading/Writing, computers, English, Water Filtration, Mathematics, and Organic Gardening.
Partners: Sol de Tasajera + ADESCO Tasajera + Central Assembly of God, PA
