Belonging, education, economic empowerment, health and inclusion: the five areas that shape our work.
Care is more than a single gift on a single day. These are the five areas Yahowa Care Initiative is committed to, working in partnership with communities, government, NGOs, Christian bodies and volunteers.
1. A sense of belonging
No one should feel left behind or less valued because of their circumstances. We bring hope to those who have lost it, smiles to faces that have forgotten them, food to tables that are empty — and a voice to those who feel voiceless.
2. Education and skills development
We provide access to quality education and skills training, so that people have the tools they need for a better livelihood — with particular care for children and young people who have no access to schooling or sponsorship.
3. Economic empowerment
We support vulnerable communities to access economic opportunities, entrepreneurship and financial inclusion, and we use our influence and partnerships to help them reach the public facilities meant to benefit them.
4. Health and wellness
We promote healthy living and better healthcare in vulnerable communities, and address the particular health challenges of people who have lost contact with society — including therapy and counselling for those fighting drug addiction.
5. Social inclusion
Every person has the right to live and to enjoy the gift of life. We foster inclusive communities where everyone feels valued, respected, appreciated and protected from discrimination and violence.
