Nairobi, Kenya Благотворительность

Отзывов: 0 Отправились: 3 Cosmas Zuma

Light and Hope Initiative is a non-governmental charity working to benefit the most vulnerable community members in the informal settlements in Kenya through our integrated programs such as:

1. Education
We partner with individuals, churches and organizations to support the vulnerable children in Mathare slums through child sponsorship program and paying for their school fees, two meals each day, school uniforms, and their medication. We regularly do intentional visits to their homes to follow up on their progress guided by our child protection policy (CPP) to ensure the children are always safe. We also nurture and develop the talents in our children.


2. Empowerment
Through our empowerment programs, we create jobs and a reliable income for parents of our students and other community members who have little to no formal education. We show thousands of people from impoverished backgrounds that they are resource-rich in ability, determination, ingenuity, and motivation.

3. Restoration
Being whole means being healthy. We carry out Health initiatives, advanced physical, mental, emotional, relational and spiritual health support programs in the community.
Within neighborhoods, community development starts with relationships. Through our community engagement program, we engage and equip one community member to equip and mobilize others. We help communities identify their needs, evaluate their God-given resources and find solutions on improving their lives. For example, community gardens, clean-up days, or construction of public restrooms.

Through Education, Mentorship and Empowerment we set these families on improved trajectories and break the inter-generational cycle of poverty that has long existed here in Mathare slums.

Вид работ

We work with vulnerable single mothers in the informal settlements by offering skills training to them and once they finish we help them start up their own businesses using the skills acquired.
We are always on the look out for volunteers with different skills such as woodwork, Beauty, embroidery e.t.c. to help pass these skills to the women in our network so as to set them on improve trajectory and help break the inter-generational cycle of poverty that has long existed here in the slums of Mathare.

We help Volunteers from abroad with processing of Visa and booking of rooms for accommodation and they can stay with us for as long as they can sustain themselves.

Ночью я чинила глобус,
Словно слесарь, как хирург.
Я поймала аэробус
И вернула в Петербург.

Ничего не пишут в прессе
Про волну народных масс:
Про трагедии в Одессе,
Про Донецк и про Донбасс.

Порыбачить едут вместе
Лидеры двух крупных стран.
Башни-близнецы на месте.
Мы не знаем про Беслан.

Нет японского цунами.
Землю больше не трясёт.
Нет бесплодия. А с нами
Дочь приёмная живёт.

В Баренцевом море гордо
Курск плывёт к родной земле.
Цою пятьдесят три года.
Он даёт концерт в Кремле.

Кармадонское ущелье
Снял в кино Сергей Бодров.
Лечат рак монахи в кельях.
Быстро и без докторов.

Не ведём дедов на площадь.
С сединою на висках.
Я чинила глобус ночью.
Я проснулась вся в слезах.

This Program places volunteers in health posts, sub health posts and health clinics. You work in either an urban or rural setting, providing primary care to locals in your specialty. Moreover, if you have doubts about whether your skills and talents are really needed in this part of the world, consider this: The doctor-patient ratio in Nepal is about 1 to 36,000. Particularly in rural areas, where much of the local people live, there is a desperate, chronic shortage of medical personnel and supplies. Medical school students’ activities will include things like following doctors on their rounds, exploring different treatments for simple ailments, providing physical therapy, and participating in vaccination programs. Of all of our programs, we are perhaps most proud of the Medical Volunteer Program and the invaluable contributions of independent-minded professionals like you. You will help to relieve the suffering of others, playing a critical role in the villages and towns where you’ll serve. Please feel free to contact us for more.

The reason why we ask for a financial contribution from all of our volunteers and interns is because we aim to provide all of our projects for free to the local communities. These financial contributions make up a large part of our income to cover our operating costs. You can look at the contribution rates here http://otracosa.org/volunteer/contribution/. We believe our rates are pretty fair compared to rates other organizations in South America ask for. We also hold transparency extremely important so you can see where our contributions go in our Annual Reports. We will have 2019's report up soon. I know it seems kind of unfair to ask for a financial contribution when you offer your work for free but a lot of the contribution goes to the support system we offer such as airport pickups, weekly lunches, and fun weekend trips.
