Alongside the emergency interventions still in place in a smaller extent, there are numerous projects involving different area of intervention.

There are specifically ongoing projects in the following sectors:
• Wash sector: through the drilling and rehabilitation of wells and the vocational training of local staff as pump mechanics;
• Health sector: supporting Loputuk and Tapac dispensaries;
• Socio-educational sector: through recreational activities in the Youth Center of the Moroto compound, the provision of school lessons to children from 3 to 16 years of age, as well as the training and awareness-raising against certain practices that are still present in those areas, such as children and women exploitation;
• Agricultural/livestock sector: setting up a veterinary laboratory, agro-pastoral schools on the field and the Multi-sectoral Center of Rural Development of Loputuk.
• Support to local communities which are already in the territory, through donations of food and non-food items.

Through these interventions, the purpose is to help the communities face their state of need and to accompany them along the path to their development by giving the people the necessary means to learn and grow independently.
