Individual's right to safety, health, and nutrition

COMMUNITY HEARTS
and doing so has enabled assisted disadvantaged communities to:
-
break free of intergenerational poverty and despair
-
become self-supporting and self-reliant
-
become a proud community who have pride in its achievements and also developed 'Pay it forward' values.
Community Hearts is about using local knowledge and involvement to better help the community sustain a positive and independent future.
Building communities with pride in their achievements
Education for life and a future
-
Lives are enhanced with education that will give children an opportunity to learn and gain success for their future.
-
Education gives adults a greater understanding of the effects of trauma with educational programmes titled eg. 'Looking through a Trauma Lens' approach, what that means for them and the children in their care.
-
Women and girls are better able to understand their bodies with health education.
-
Communities become committed to 'zero tolerance to abuse' when involved in training that explains what violence and safety means for all, and they learn what a difference can be made with a zero tolerance attitude.
-
Education also enables those wishing to earn an income, a means to do so through their learning of new skills.
In all, education is the key to lives being enriched.
Sewing their way to a future
HHCD donated sewing machines, supplies and education
