At J.I.W.Y Trust, we are committed to enhancing the quality of life for members of our community through a variety of programs and services. Our programs are designed to empower vulnerable members of society, including widows, prisoners, outcasts, the disadvantaged, the less fortunate, and the poor, by providing them with positive encouragement, spiritual and psychosocial support, and opportunities for personal growth.
Integrated Family Care and Community Based Services
Our flagship program is our Integrated Family Care and Community Based Services program, which provides a safe, stable, and suitable home for our service users. We also work to provide move-on plans and solutions for those who have the ability to be self-sustaining or providing effective and reliable foster care services in the project community. Through this program, we aim to give our service users hope and help them realise their potential through motivational programs, guidance and counselling services, and community-based interventions.
Livelihoods and Income Generation
We understand the importance of financial independence and self-sufficiency, which is why we facilitate sustainable livelihoods and income generation projects by providing skills training and inputs for adult vocational and technical training e.g. farming & other employable skills, etc. We also assist volunteers and foster parents through agricultural input support programs in vegetable gardening through community vegetable gardens and in the rearing of fowls & goats; to raise income for supporting the children and adults.
Education
We believe that education is key to unlocking a person's potential and breaking the cycle of poverty. That's why we provide access to quality formal education services to children through the opening of schools and learning centres. We also recruit, assess, and train foster care volunteers and public health & social workers to support and manage the residents care education on health, nutrition, hygiene, immunisations.
Evangelism and Community Development
We are a faith-based organization, and we believe in the power of the word of God to inspire and uplift people. That's why we engage in community-based evangelism and church planting, community development projects, vocational and entrepreneurial training for youths, especially orphans and other vulnerable children. We equip them with practical life skills to enable them to utilize their God-given potential.
Basic Social Interventions
We understand the importance of meeting basic needs, which is why we provide basic social interventions such as food, clothing, medication and educational requirements such as school uniforms, stationary, and other social amenities for the less privileged members of society. We also coordinate community-based disease control and sanitation interventions, projects, and programs for the benefit of the less fortunate members of society, especially those affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Counselling and Guidance
We believe that everyone deserves a chance to live a fulfilling life, regardless of their circumstances. That's why we provide faith-based counselling and guidance to the less privileged and vulnerable members of society, including prisoners and social misfits, and give them a reason to live through the inspiration of the word of God.
