Need for partners

Norwegian Agency for Development(NORAD)

Norwegian Church Aid, Norwegian Olympic Commitee and Paraolympic Commitee and Federation of Sports (NIF) and Academic Work are our main partners.But many partners give support to those Self-Help Education activites who have proved they can stand on their own feet and can benefit hugely from support towards their activities in order to grow. Realizing the huge number of Self-Help activities which have started it is need for many more partners to support those strong initiatives. This is especially within Education and Health. For names of present partners see “Worldwide Donor Support”.
