Programs: Nigeria programs:in 2014, pfd completed a large scale microfinance program loan in nigeria from the david & lucile packard foundation. Pfd provided business skills training and technical assistance to agricultural loan recipients, while integrating microfinance and health by providing reproductive health messages and linking borrowers to health facilities. Additionally, nigeria has made strides in educat-ing female secondary students through the anne johnson memorial scholarship fund established by pfd. The strong correlation between education and socio-economic status of women globally makes this especially relevant to pfd's mission. Additional program highlights include the water, hygiene and satiation (wash) program which reduces maternal and infant mortality rate; strengthens community engagement, promoted peace building, improves local health services and effectiveness of the health systems.
tanzania program:in 2014, pfd continued to support microfinance activities in northern tanzania. It also continued to work with its affiliate, technologies for renewable and efficient energy (tree) as they prepare to scale up production of clean cook stoves and solar lamps.
cambodia programs:pfd manages the global fund supported "malaria prevention and control in cambodia project" with a focus on multi-drug resistant malaria. Program activities include: capacity building, information sharing, education and communication, with a focus on reaching out to vulnerable and underserved populations to improve their access to healthcare. Throughout 2014, pfd continued to increase community awareness of malaria by offering malaria health education trainings for village health volunteers and for school teachers on pfd's child-to-child (ctc) methodology. Pfd worked with mobile and migrant populations (mmp) to reduce the spread of malaria, as population movements are one of the main factors in the emergence and spread of antimalarial resistant parasites. Pfd also trained mobile malaria workers and plantation workers to disseminate malaria information, treatment and prevention packages including insecticide treated bed nets. Pfd researchers conducted surveys to ensure community needs are met and to help guide the directions of future programming.
