Capacity building and Income generating Activities
Building the capacity of individuals, groups and communities to become self-reliant. Development has
become an important aspect of the work of our organisation. We offer advisory services, giving training
and skills in urban gardening, tailoring, metal fabrication and carpentry to communities, group or
individual to kick-start community-led initiatives or facilitating the bringing-together of expertise and
experience in the community to deal with particular problems. All of this can go to promote the skills
and capacities of communities and their members to better deal with the kinds of problems they may face.
