World Vision

World vision has 11200 kids in 64 schools in 3 communes (Acul du Nord, Plaine du Nord, Milot communes) that they support in the north! They have a nurse at schools that does consultation with the kids. Often the mother does not know what sort of diet is best to give her kid, and so the focus is on education. They go to community for certain period of time and build education there and then pass on to the public system and other institutions in the community.
