Was ist unser Impact?
Safety and Protection.
The Safety and Protection of the persons under our care creates a safe space for children and vulnerable persons in schools and communities. The main focus of the program is reduction of corporal punishment in schools, decrease of sexual and gender based violence amongst women and girls and elimination of bullying within the schools. We also work with people experiencing homelessness to help them settle in a safe home, restore their mental and physical wellbeing, build their self-esteem and social capital and discover their purpose.
To do this we:
- Provide direct holistic support to people experiencing homelessness and empower them to transform their lives.
- Build community connections to increase collective understanding of homelessness and empathy towards the people who experience it.
- Stand up with those who lack the basic human right to safe housing.
Survival and Development
With Child mortality being labelled as a critical health issue as a result of malnutrition, lack of immunisation and access of mothers and children to medical services and health care, the first 1000 days of life becomes an important area for the Fund to focus on. The Fund’s response is derived from an analysis of the scope of the problem, existing solutions and outstanding gaps.The purpose of this intervention is to make sure that the social system responds to the needs of children under the ages of 3 to better ensure their survival, development and thriving. The Fund’s role is to act with extreme vigilance in closing the gaps through Immunisation Coverage, HIV -AIDS Treatment and other diseases as well as Prevention and tackling Malnutrition. H4T’s method includes developing an activity based implementation plan considering the existing gaps at that level due to resource constraints.
Sustainable Livelihoods Scheme.
H4T’s Sustainable Livelihoods Scheme seeks to address poverty experienced by families, especially in areas that have been identified by government as nodal points. These are areas with a high rate of unemployment, low production because of various reasons and sometimes isolated in terms of securing basic services. The Scheme aims to strengthen families and communities to cope with the situation of vulnerability while creating a better life and brighter future for the children.The Scheme is designed to help communities to work their way out of poverty by encouraging community members to form Self Help Groups. The Self Help Groups are engaged in saving mobilisation programmes and income generating activities.
Advovacy for Human Rights and Homelessness.
Homelessness violates the principle of human dignity enshrined in articles 1 and 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Countries have recognized in Article 11 (1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living, including to food, clothing and housing and to the continuous improvement of living conditions. Article 12 states that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of health. States must furthermore guarantee according to Article 2 (2) that all economic, social and cultural rights “are exercised without discrimination of any kind as to … national or social origin, property, birth or other status”, the latter includes as well housing status.
