Can you help the Slovoville Upliftment Project?
One of the communities we work in is Slovoville. Community members have come together to create the Slovoville Upliftment Project. Perhaps you might be interested in helping them?
Four things they need help with:
1. Creating a park and playground (they have cleared an area an made a plan). Grass seeds, weed-eaters, concrete rubbish bins, poles, tyres, tree trunks, easy care, indigenous plants, flowers and trees, concrete benches...
2. Accessing computers to teach computer skills to community members unable to access this possibility in any other way.
3. Finding people to teach young people skills that will aid them in getting jobs
4. Paint to paint a mural on an ugly wall bordering an area they want to turn into a park.
This is what they say about themselves:
‘Slovoville Upliftment Project is an organisation that started on 3 January 2012, and as the name says, it aims to uplift our community of Slovoville through various programmes and interventions.
Some of our main outcomes like Employment Creation and Up-skilling, Poverty Alleviation and Development will be attained through programmes focused on Education, Business Start-ups and Sports and Arts Social Integration.
Another important one is Aesthetics and Beautification, which looks to clean up Slovoville and make it a beautiful place to live in.
