MAKE A CHILD’S BIRTHDAY

We believe that no child should be deprived the joy, excitement, fulfilment, mental and emotional development attached to his/her birthday party.

Make A Child’s birthday creates a memorable childhood experience for deprived children in developing countries where the painful sting of poverty prevails; children look forward to surviving each day while the joy of growing up is lost to the daily battle of survival.

We organise and provide healthy, traditional celebration menu and merry moments through a network of service providers and partners. Our celebration activities include cutting of cake, hot meals, educational party packs, music, dancing, painting, drawing and various games. The party is held at the residence of the service providers and organisational partners or the nearest available suitable place for easy accessibility.

DARE TO ACHIEVE

Dare to Achieve tackles challenges affecting educational attainment and educational outcomes of children and young people. We provide out of school educational programme combined with recreational activities for children living in care to provide additional support and help them towards achieving higher levels of academic attainment.

We provide educational/employment support programme combined with financial literacy activities that will specifically target young people who are not in education, employment or training who are underachieving due to heavy financial/debt burden, lack of skills and lack of information and advice on available opportunities.

FOODSHED

We believe that no one should die of hunger particularly pregnant women, nursing mothers, children under 5 years as well as school aged children.

Foodshed aim to alleviate food poverty amongst the disadvantaged and deprived communities by soliciting, collecting, growing and packaging food for distribution through a network of service agencies and programmes that serve our target groups and communities.

Our activities include Food Bag distribution; Food Voucher for Pregnant women, widows with school aged children and families with children under 5 years. Our activities do not only include food distribution, Foodshed also promotes trainings and produces materials on healthy nutrition and balanced diets as well as affordable farming.

THE ENTERPRISE ACAEDEMY

Parents play active roles in improving the educational attainment and outcomes of their children. Every parent’s desire is to be able to provide financially for their children’s need.

We are committed to strengthening the capacity of parents and guardians in providing, supporting and promoting positive attitude towards learning and life experiences in their children.

While passion and determination are important for the day to day activities of an enterprise, technical knowledge and skills are the foundations for every successful endeavour. The Enterprise academy provides enterprise start-up and management training, micro-loan facilities, business coaching and mentoring using customer feedback approach, formal and on the job training. Our conveners are usually established business owners and experts in their field.

The pilot project was launched in early December 2018. We provided Artisan mothers with school age children with grants and microfinance to support their businesses.  The second segment was launched mid-December 2019 with grants and microfinance support for young widows (under 35 years old) with children.
