Social Work

From working with the 5 districts in Kwazulu Natal, we know that the main contributors of poverty we should focus on are as follows:

Poor Nutrition
Low literacy or no education at all
Poor housing structures
Lack of or low access to resources like water & sanitation
Long distance to access government office and food stores
Poor roads infrastructure and little or no Transportation
Low income and unemployment
Teenage pregnancies leading in many grandparents caring for the young ones with their pension monies or no income at all if unemployment and not old enough to access pension money.
Child headed households deriving from parents who may have left to seek employment for a long period of time, making the children more vulnerable
No birth certificates resulting in no access to government child grants
The inability come up with ideas to utilised resources like land into income generation due to lack of awareness, fear of failure and no confidence in government to support those intiatives if ideas arise

Supporting and maintaining the wellbeing of women, youth and children through emergency response and capacity building towards sustainable livelihoods.
