We have established ourselves as a Developmental Start-up institute within the vulnerable community, by creating a physical presence for members to access our services in their community and imparting to them the skills required for betterment.

What is your biggest success?
Our greatest achievement was that we acquired our first Mobile Centre. We were hard pressed to get our skills to the people since they do not have access to our services when we are too far away. When we were able to place our Centre within the community, it opened up a world of opportunity to help more people.
We are now able to access our members in a more structured manner, since they are able to come to a safe space and a designated area, which is dedicated to their development and upliftment. Our meals are cooked and delivered within 10minutes to our recipients meaning they acquire a warm meal on days when they are partaking in our nutritional scheme. It has truly been an amazing achievement and development for us to be see the impact we are making in the community.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been to fight the spirit of lethargy or apathy amongst some of the people we to assist. I say to our recipients that, we as an organisation, are not here to do anything FOR you. We are here to assist you, so that you may gain the skills and tools which you need, to help yourselves live a better life.
We are then faced with the challenge of working against the mindset of people who do not quite see the need to learn new behaviours.
