Empower
Empowering different groups of people to rise above life challenges is an important part of creating a more equitable and just society.
Empowerment can be achieved by providing individuals with the resources and support needed to overcome obstacles, to help people reach their full potential and lead more fulfilling lives.
Empowerment, which can be structural or psychological is vital in community development. As an organisation we focus more on supporting individuals by implementing the necessary structures: from providing access to educational programmes and job training to offering financial assistance and mental health services.
Through partnering with other charitable organisations we deliver services or signpost individuals for the necessary support. We work to create safe spaces for marginalized groups, help to break down barriers and achieve their goals.
Part of the factors of structural empowerment is to make sure people have resources and support they need to overcome their challenges, which in turn can help people feel psychologically empowered.
When people feel empowered psychologically, with the freedom to make their own decisions, the competence to do so to enable positive impact, they gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed.
