Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs, the project, Watoto ni Hazina (or Children are Treasure), will build the capacity of government and civil society to reduce child labor and promote acceptable conditions of work in gold mining communities in #Tanzania. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4iRlLP2

“Small-scale miners should have access to safe and decent working conditions. When we visited mines in Rwanda, miners were using handheld torches with poor lighting. This contrasts with the well-lit tunnels of large-scale mines, which use rechargeable head torches. We decided to introduce this technology to improve safety and productivity," said James McQuilken, Director, Responsible Mining at Pact.

Ever wonder what becomes of all the physical documents that Pact retains during the course of a development project❓As part of Pact’s commitment to environmental sustainability, after the close of our USAID-funded REFRESH project in Malawi, we donated shredded documents to a local orphanage that has been converting paper waste into viable energy sources by creating briquettes — a highly innovative and environmentally friendly practice. The briquettes are used for cooking fuel, replacing wood and charcoal, which have a significant environmental footprint. ♻️ In countries where legal mandate allows, Pact transitioned to digital record retention several years ago. But even when it comes to physical documents, we’re making sustainable choices! A green goodbye was especially important to our REFRESH team, as this project focused on the environment and conserving freshwater biodiversity in Lake Malawi. And our donation of paper waste has been transformed into fuel for meals for children.

We're proud to support community case workers in #DominicanRepublic! #EndHIV #pactpromise #globalhealth USAID

#SelfCareSunday! After a year full of many great changes at Pact, DC staff had the chance to unwind and indulge in self-care at their annual holiday party last week! Sometimes self-care looks like a nap, practicing yoga, and drinking tea...while other times, it can mean partying with friends, shooting some pool, and singing Christmas carols! What a way to say goodbye to 2024 and ring in an even more promising, successful year ahead! #OnePact #BuildingLocalPromise.
