‘Good environment means good health to the people’
Learning social life skills programmes;
CAG is not only going around Iringa region helping orphans, visiting hospitals and helping sick people, spreading education about HIV/AIDS but also its members learn social life skills from different cultures and environment. CAG members enable themselves to learn different social life skills through their activities. Our motto on this is, ‘Nothing is stronger than the heart of volunteering’. We ask anyone who is touched CAG activities to assist the group either financially or through moral support. Doing more things faster is no substitute for doing the right things. By helping CAG directly you help orphans, you feed the needy children, and you save youths from HIV/AIDS.
“Live, Learn and Love”.
