Donate Now & Change A Life
We are dedicated to caring for the elderly, promoting girls and women’s rights, and empowering youth. To effectively address the needs of these targeted populations, we employs a range of strategies and approaches to create awareness, drive behavior change, provide accessible care, establish safe spaces, and build capacity within the communities it serves.
Our Strategies
Advocacy/Sensitization
Through advocacy and sensitization campaigns, we raises awareness about the rights, challenges, and needs of the targeted populations.
It engages with policymakers, community leaders, and the general public to promote understanding, empathy, and support for the elderly, girls, and women, as well as youth empowerment. Advocacy efforts aim to influence policies, legislation, and social norms, creating an enabling environment for positive
change.
Training Peer Educators
We train peer educators from within the target populations to become advocates and mentors.
These peer educators receive specialized training on relevant topics, such as elderly care, women’s rights, and youth empowerment. They play a vital role in disseminating information, organizing awareness campaigns, and providing support within their respective communities. Peer educators serve as trusted sources of knowledge and support, bridging the gap between the NGO’s programs and the communities they serve.
Behavioral Change Communication (BCC)
We also establishes elderly-friendly resource centers to cater to the needs of the elderly population.
These centers offer a range of services, including health screenings, social activities, recreational programs, and educational sessions. The centers serve as gathering places for the elderly, fostering a sense of community, combating isolation, and promoting active aging.
Elderly-Friendly Resource Centers
We utilizes behavioral change communication strategies to influence attitudes, beliefs, and practices that impact the targeted populations.
We develops and disseminates educational materials, conducts workshops, and organizes interactive sessions to address specific issues such as gender equality, reproductive health, and age-related concerns. BCC interventions encourage individuals to adopt healthier behaviors, challenge harmful norms, and promote positive social change.
Youth-Friendly Resource Centers
We establishes youth-friendly resource centers as safe spaces where young people can access information, support, and resources.
These centers provide a range of services, including counseling, sexual and reproductive health education, vocational training, and mentorship programs.
By creating a welcoming environment, we empowers youth to seek guidance, develop skills, and realize their full potential.
Home/Community-Based Care
To cater to the specific needs of the elderly, we provides home/community based care services.
Trained caregivers offer assistance with daily activities, healthcare support, and emotional companionship to elderly individuals in their own homes or within their communities. This approach ensures that the elderly receive personalized care while remaining connected to their social networks and familiar environments.
