Our holistic approach not only addresses immediate needs but also focuses on long-term sustainability and financial independence.

Programme Overview

The majority of the survivors we support face significant financial challenges. To address this, we offer comprehensive assistance aimed at helping them regain stability and independence. Our programme goes beyond providing immediate aid; we empower our beneficiaries by teaching them crucial financial management skills and sustainable living practices.

Our financial empowerment initiative includes: Budgeting and Savings Workshops: We conduct regular workshops to educate survivors on budgeting, saving, and managing their finances effectively. Sustainability Education: We teach participants how to make cost-effective and environmentally friendly choices, reducing their overall expenditure.

Waste Reduction

Education A critical component of our program is waste reduction, which we address through several strategies:

Thrift Shopping: We encourage the purchase of second-hand goods from thrift stores, promoting the reuse of items and reducing waste.

Reusable Products: We advocate for the use of reusable items, such as makeup remover pads, which help minimize disposable waste.

Resourcefulness Training: Our training sessions include tips on how to repurpose and upcycle items, further instilling a culture of sustainability.

Our integrated approach of financial education, waste reduction, and skill development ensures that our beneficiaries are empowered to lead sustainable and financially stable lives. By incorporating these practices, we aim to create a lasting impact that benefits both the individuals we serve and the environment. For all these reasons and more, we believe that we are making a significant difference in reducing waste.
