Community Empowerment Programmes
As an NPO we should always keep focused on the fact that we have a responsiblity towards the upliftment and empowerment of the persons in our community.
Our Responsibilites
The responsiblity of uplifting the community rests upon our shoulders. If we are unable to establish the needs of our community and address them, then that is an injustice aimed at our communities and the vulnerable that we should be serving. We need to have our eyes set on the goals of the organisation and the community as a whole.
Health Informative Programme
AnnuallyA very successful and informative programme is held yearly with our Aged from Lenasia and its surrounding areas. The programme covered information on diabetes.
First Aid Training
Our uplifting programmes have also targeted the youth, whereby we organised First Aid Training Programmes for high school students of the community. This has benefitted many of our students that have applied to Tertiary Educational Institutes.
