'Great to see the cultivated land looks green'. 'It’s very encouraging'. ‘We are very happy with the project and wish we had had the knowledge years ago’. “'Johari is a blessing to us and we are very happy' ……….they say. These are just some of the comments from the Guardians involved in the Guardian Empowerment Programme.

Johari Foundation's main focus for this project is to ensure that guardians feel empowered and that they understand the need for sustainability and increased productivity in their capacity as guardian to the children. First and foremost there is the need to provide sufficient food for each house-hold and to ensure that children are healthy and happy. Great progress has been made towards achieving this goal. Identification of skills and areas where improvement is required has been carried out making engagement with guardians easier. Based on our recent visit to the areas of land being cultivated…it is evident that great positive impact is being achieved and the rains are helping. Even the elderly guardians are coping well.

Social groups are working well with all the guardians sharing skills, ideas and knowledge. They are pulling togethere and helping each other. It is our goal to see that every household is self sufficient, healthy, and happy and able to meet their needs with little assistance.

This is a step in the right direction
keep up.
Self sustainability is the way to go instead of alms and handouts.
Empowerment, not only economically, but also psychologically is the way to go........
Kudos Johari
