INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES

We have worked and collaborated with various United Nations Agencies, such as the World Health Organisation, Office of the Human Rights Commission, amongst others.
Through working with and collaborating with international agencies, we hope to make an impact that filters down to country level, where countries commit to achieving goals set at international level.
