It has involved itself in a wide range of projects including water, sanitation, tropical diseases, essential medicines, maternal health, perinatal care, disaster relief, and transformational missions.

They are like superheroes that save people when they need their help by reaching out to them at the remote corner of the world. Almost all around the globe people have been able to get help from them.
