Programmes

Seeking to eradicate Poverty and promote the holistic development of humanity through advocating for equal access to opportunities, the organization has developed the following Programmes in order to achieve its set goals:

 

* Human Rights Education: It has been discovered that the reason for the many alarming cases of abuse and violence in Schools, Homes and Communities is due to the lack of knowledge about the basic human rights and the need to respect ones right. This Programme is especially designed to address these ills of society by promoting human rights education at all levels.

 

* Gender & Women Empowerment: Gender and women empowerment is a Programme designed to address the challenges that women face in their homes and communities and protect the rights of women at all levels, also seeking to empower them with life skills trainings and basic management skills.

 

* Child Welfare Promotion: The Children constitute a very fragile part of the nation’s population and are the future generation of leaders that are expected to take responsibility after the youths, but if they are not taken care of by giving them the required grooming, care and support to enable them grow in a healthy environment, they will not perform as expected.

 

* Integrity Leadership and Good Governance: This Programme is geared towards promoting Good Governance and a Corrupt-Free society and ensuring that Youths and Women are active participants in governance at local, national and international levels.

 

Youth Empowerment Strategies (YES):The goal of this programme is to foster acommitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Through repeated failures in the classrom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk young people have lost faith in the possibilities that await them if they are successful in putting their lives together. To accomplish this goal, young people must be in a caring, inclusive learning environment that promotes their best efforts and reinforces personal respect.

 

* Youth Against AIDS: Holding unto the fact that the future of young people is threatened by the virus and if nothing is done, Sierra Leone and other countries in Africa will suffer so much loss in the hands of the disease and therefore this Programme aims at ensuring that youths are actively involved in combating the spread of the disease and totally eradicate or mitigate stigma.

 

* Water Sanitation and Hygiene: Water is Life! It is undoubtedly true that water is a very important aspect of man’s life and so also a very pertinent aspect of Human Rights. As an organization seeking to ensure the livelihood and sustainability of humanity, this Programme is mainly to advocate and promote Water Sanitation and Hygiene.   

 

* Peace and Security: In the spirit of the Earth Charter, this Programme seeks to promote tolerance, nonviolence and peace by encouragin and supporting mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation among all citizens in Sierra Leone and beyond. Comprehensive strategies will be developed to prevent violent conflict and use collaborative problem solving to manage and resolve environmental conflicts and other disputes.

 

* Sports: Despite the fact that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, the fair play FIFA rule is also a rule that can apply in Peace building and Development. This initiative is directed towards promoting peace and development through sports.
