“Poverty is the lack of opportunity” (Anon.)
Living Waters has seen that a vast number of vulnerable women and youth at risk remain in disadvantaged situations due to a lack of skills and financial constraints.
To combat this Living Waters offers vulnerable women and youth at risk within the community the opportunity to learn a skill. Most of the projects within this program allow them to EARN WHILST THEY LEARN. The vulnerable are also offered holistic programs (personal development workshops, counseling, entrepreneurial workshops, personal finances, assessment by an occupational therapist), which are run at the Living Waters Centre
Projects within the skills training program include: basic and advanced sewing, a business outsource centre, computer training, welding, woodworking, arts and crafts*, pottery/art studio.
* Arts and Crafts include: photoblasting, screen-printing, designing, embroidery, corporate gifts, card-making, paper-making, decoupage and candle making.
