More About Us – Get to Know Our Team
People face different challenges in life. Our current society is especially plagued by social problems such as poverty and social injustice. Unfortunately, these problems affect more than meets the eye. Poverty sets the pace for limited access to basic needs such as housing, healthcare, food, and education. But this does not just affect the poor. Instead, the effects trickle down to society, affecting us as a whole. The same goes for social injustices – where one person’s rights are infringed upon, all our rights are at risk.
There are two ways to tackle the problems in society. The first, which has proven not to work, is to hope that things will get better. But with nobody taking up the task to change the trajectory of our current society, social problems become even more compounded, affecting even more people. The second is to do something about it, which is what our team strives to achieve.
We have been tackling social problems using a multi-pronged approach.
How?
Research
You can never truly solve anything without knowing how it started – enough world solutions have proven this. Thus, our team starts by researching the current problems in our society and digging beyond what meets the eye to uncover their causes. After all, if you don’t know where a problem originates, the best you can do is use a band-aid solution that will not address the cause – eventually, you will spend more resources than you would have had you found the issue and addressed it. Moreover, band-aid solutions have proven to be less effective in helping people move past their circumstances.
Brainstorming
When you know what you are dealing with, it’s much easier to know what you can change to pave the way for better outcomes. As such, the second part of our approach relies on seeking practical solutions to solve societal challenges. We do this through the help of experts who offer valuable insights to help us understand what we can do to foster meaningful changes in society. We also engage affected communities to understand what simple solutions can have positive impacts on society – sometimes, the answer is as simple as advocating for a policy change.
Project Shadowing
Many community-based organizations and governments have implemented programmes to address the social issues in their countries. We research what has been done, where it was done, and the results of the intervention. This knowledge enables us to understand what has the potential to work in each society, having factored in the reasons projects succeeded or failed.
Information Dissemination
Social ills have affected the world for centuries. As such, we cannot take on this battle alone and instead need to work with other people. Knowing this, the fourth part involves sharing our insights with the world. We believe that everyone, no matter their age or socioeconomic status, can play a role in sparking positive changes in our society. As such, we share different approaches that people can embrace to foster meaningful changes in the long term.
