OUR WORK AREAS - IES
YSWM is a supporter of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), and thus our mode of operation is based on UNSDG17 which broadly calls for partnership development for the realisation of initiative, programme, project and activities in the following thematic areas.
INCLUSIVITY - EMPOWERMENT - SUSTAINABILITY
The Foundations utilises the Youth-Adult Partnership (Y-AP) Approach in the design and implementation of all its work.
YSWM champions Economic, Social and Politicial Inclusion by ensuring that opportunities for growth, education, and development are accessible to all, especially underserved and marginalized communities. We are driven by visions statements that guide our work to achieve inclusion using bespoke partnership initiatives, programmes and projects. The foundation’s initiatives, programmes and project aim to bridge social, economic and advocacy gaps to enable, empower and building capacity of women, youth, differently-abled individuals (Special Needs), and rural and urban populations.
- Women’s Inclusivity - Vision Statement
“To create an inclusive society where women from diverse backgrounds have equitable opportunities and are empowered to participate fully in all aspects of life.”
- Special Needs Inclusivity - Vision Statement
“To foster an inclusive society that embraces diversity and provides equal opportunities for children and youth with special needs to achieve their full potential.”
- Community Inclusivity - Vision Statement
“To create inclusive communities that embrace diversity, promote equity, and ensure that every individual feels valued and empowered to participate fully in social, economic, and cultural life.”
YSWM aims to empower women, special needs individuals, and communities by designing and implementing initiatives, programmes and projects in consultation with target groups in oder to foster skill development, promote inclusive education, advocate for equal opportunities, enhance access to resources, and facilitate entrepreneurship. Our YSWM partnership SOP enables us to design and implement sustainable initiatives, programmes and projects that uplift marginalized groups, ensuring dignity, independence, and inclusion for holistic development in support of the UNSDGs.
“To empower women across all walks of life by enhancing their access to education, financial independence, leadership opportunities, and social inclusion.”
“To empower children and youth with special needs by fostering independence, confidence, and opportunities for full inclusion in society.”
“To nurture self-reliant, resilient communities that prioritize sustainable practices for environmental conservation, economic empowerment, and social well-being.”
YSWM is dedicated to promoting Sustainability in all our work and practices. We do so by integrating environmentally responsible practices into its initiatives, programmes and projects. The foundation advocates and supports partnership development to facilitate green entrepreneurship, encourage businesses to adopt sustainable, equitableand eco-friendly processes and practices with a focus on the used of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. We do this through education and awareness campaigns, build capacity to equip public, private and civil society organisations and communities with the knowledge and tools to reduce their environmental footprint, emphasizing the importance of sustainable development.
