Aim
To see a poverty free world, where everyone enjoys the right to live with dignity, can strive and contribute, and where development works through the eyes of the ‘commons’ who should be the drivers towards ending poverty.
Our Objectives
We deliver our vision and strategic aims by working towards the following outcomes:
- Provide or assist in the provision of education, training and all the necessary support interventions designed for individuals and communities to generate a self-sustaining environment, sustainable income and self-sufficiency.
- Promote the Physical and Mental Health & wellbeing of individuals through sporting and leisure activities (football, gym etc.), and also through health and sensitisation campaigns and promotions on violent crimes; knifes, drugs gangs and alcohol abuse.
- Promote Human Rights and Gender Equality initiatives with emphasis on women and girls, ensuring equality of opportunity, fairness and providing means of achieving their full potential in the ever changing socio-economic and political climate.
- Promote business development initiatives and entrepreneurship, including business start-ups, advice and information, business opportunities and investment.
- We promote community activism, advocacy and campaigns for social justice, solidarity and philanthropy, through community events and public education programs.
- We organise advice and information sessions to individuals and communities.
- Promote diversity, inclusion and integration amongst communities.
Our Approach
We adopt an integrated rights perspective through all our community projects and consultancy services. We believe in participatory projects. We want to work with people not work for them. Therefore our method is to encourage community ownership of the projects we embark on. We work to achieve excellence in our fields.
We are building on our strategy by working with private, public and voluntary sectors, individuals and communities to inspire debate and action, and to develop solutions. We have a dedicated team of experts with diverse skills, knowledge and experience in managing diverse programmes and projects focused on lifting individuals and communities out of poverty.
Our Values
We believe in development for the masses through a communal voice- where:
- Equality and Diversity, Mutual Respect, requires us to recognise the innate worth of all people and their values in diversity.
- We value honesty, transparency and accountability at all levels for the effectiveness of our actions and which are open in our judgements and communications with others.
- We stand in solidarity with the poor, powerless and excluded in our commitment to the fight against poverty
- We severe our courage of conviction, through creative, radical, bold and innovative advocacy– without fear of failure – in pursuit of making the greatest possible impact on the causes and fight for poverty and inequality.
- We are political but not party political. We are independent of any religious or party-political affiliation but encourage inclusive approach towards development.
- We ensure humility in our presentation and behaviour, recognising that we are part of a wider alliance against poverty and inequality.
- We commit ourselves to sound policies, good governance at all levels, and the rule of law.
We tackle the root causes of poverty and its consequences by building capacities of disadvantaged individuals and communities, empowering them with sufficient skills, knowledge and resources, to maximise their full potential, lift themselves out of poverty.
