Activities

The Colibri Program is a cross-cutting approach to Nutrition, Water-Sanitation-Hygiene and Rural Development. Morija’s action is thus global, since it acts simultaneously on several factors of poverty, but also sustainable because it involves both people and public authorities.

This program highlights the importance of the participatory approach of beneficiaries. Special emphasis is placed on women’s involvement as a force of change within their family and community and on their role in preserving resources.
