COMMUNITY OUTREACH

 

The community represents an entry point to understanding the issues that is top in the agenda of a given area. TEARS through the community theatre approach and peer led participatory approaches is able to stimulate discussion and engage the community through its outreach programs to start discourse geared towards solving the issues at hand. As the community engage with the issues at hand, TEARS is able to harvest these and slowly start mapping out the issues as it seeks to seek ways of addressing them. Partnership and linkages plays a huge role is TEARS work as a catalyst since, the community is able to be linked to players in the community who can be able to assist the community to deal with the issues. The community members are able to be linked to and with potential service providers who are now able to continue the dialogue aimed towards reaching an amicable solution.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)

 

If microenterprises are the backbone of the global economy, then young entrepreneurs are its lifeblood.

Yet many aspiring entrepreneurs around the world lack the skills to launch and build the small businesses that are vital to driving innovation, creating jobs and fueling economic opportunity.

HP Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurs (HP LIFE) aims to change that. It is a global training program that helps entrepreneurs and small business owners develop essential IT and business skills.

Equipped with these skills—and driven by their ambition—young people worldwide can create opportunities to transform their lives and the lives of others in their communities.
