IPA is engaged in transitional and developing countries with
focus on learning and education.
IPA offers help for self-help, e.g. through projects in the fields of food production and water supply as well as the issuance of micro credits.
School classes and junior-teams define, plan and execute their projects independently but are supervised by experienced IPA staff.
All projects are inspected by IPA on location, and once completed, are checked over again. This way all donors have the guaranty that their money is being used in exactly the right places and that people are really getting the help they need.

The savings bank in Pouss was opened only a few months ago, but has already 130 members. 82 of them have even paid money into a solidarity fund so that 16 small loans could be granted. Together with the 21 loans financed by IPA they make an important contribution to the economic revival in the area north of Lake Maga. The region has a lot of potential and as soon as people have gained full confidence in the new institution the savings bank will be self-supporting and grow.
