Collaborative approach to development is to the best strategy

The story of the young people of the community of Isale Osun, Bere, Ibadan is proof that empowering youths within underpriviledged communities is definitely a tool to promote sustainable development and build a more sustainable future. There’s no better time to equip youths with the skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship than now and we are deeply committed to that cause at Chrysolite Foundation Empowering young people in underprivileged communities in Nigeria-Watch the story of Isale Osun https://lnkd.in/dW8eu5UD

This #WorldDayforCulturalDiversityforDialogueandDevelopment, let's celebrate the vibrant tapestry of cultures that enrich our world. Locally-led development is key. Top-down approaches to aid and development often fail to consider communities' unique needs and cultural contexts. Adeso stands in solidarity with proximate leaders worldwide, as they reclaim and revitalize their unique cultural heritage. Traditional knowledge systems and cultural practices hold immense value and are best understood and implemented by the communities themselves. By embracing locally-led development, we can ensure aid and development efforts are culturally appropriate, effective, and co-created alongside communities.

For generations, Kutura residents have depended on livestock to earn a living. Since animals need water and pasture to thrive, communities move in search of these precious resources, which often means children and youth are unable to attend formal school. Celebrating cultural diversity, such as this, Adeso and the community created the Mobile Non-Formal Education (MNFE) Center to address this reality. Over the two-and-a-half-year project duration, the MNFE educated nearly 400 youth, 70% of whom were girls.

The future is bright

People often ask me "Why don't you hire people from Australia?" The number one reason is this. We choose to make a difference. The WAO team is now 42 full-time staff. 6 based in Australia and the rest across the world. I don't get out of bed in the morning to make money. Yes, Marlon and I do what we do to provide for our family - we have 7 children between us. That's a BIG family with a BIG reason. But back in 2018, when we lost our unborn baby when I was 6 months pregnant, we had to make a tough decision. It really was a turning point for WAO. "Are we going to take a step back in the business and just stay with the two of us working together? Or are we going to grow the business so we can take the pressure off ourselves AND make a greater difference in the world?" We choose 2. Make a difference. It started with impacting the lives of our staff first. For me, it was about helping smart people in other countries who aren't given a chance to provide for their families because they aren't in Australia. For Marlon, it was a sort of homecoming - helping families in his original homeland, Sri Lanka. (Marlon moved to Australia when he was 8 years old) Later, once the business grew - as well as our global reach with staff in the Philipines, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, India, and so on - we started WAOImpact. We asked our staff to connect with their communities and find people they wanted to help, projects that needed funding, and volunteers - and now that's what they do. Every time, Shahinaz Sabry writes up what our team has been up to with WAOImpact projects, I always shed a tear. Not just because of the heartbreaking stories, but the amazing impact our team are making around the world. How blessed we are to have this opportunity in business and life to change the lives of these 200+ families on the other side of the world. -- PS - It only costs $2000 to send 9 of our staff to the other side of their country to impact 200 families and provide them with quality education resources and above all, hope and love. ⏱If you are interested in being part of our next project helping change the world, you don't even have to be a client of ours - just send me a DM and we will be in touch. Have an amazing day!

Embracing the teachings of the Baha'i faith has always driven my passion to serve humanity. And I believe I can serve humanity in various ways including the projects and businesses I do 🥰. Transitioning from Uganda to Canada was a leap of faith, leaving behind cherished projects that echoed with purpose. Yet, through the marvel of online connectivity, I've nurtured those endeavors, fostering a sense of unity that knows no bounds. Now, as I reflect on how to further merge my passions, I've embarked on a new journey: introducing the vibrant crafts of East Africa to the Canadian market. But this venture is more than commerce ; it's a channel for change, It's about expanding the reach of Lamalo Essentials while also supporting and simultaneously uplifting youth and women-led organizations that make hand made crafts in Uganda, empowering them to share their beautiful creations with the world. This endeavor isn't just about business; it's a heartfelt mission to reconnect with my roots, celebrate the richness of African culture, and build bridges of understanding in my new community. Each step forward fills me with purpose and joy, knowing that we're collectively weaving a tapestry of unity and empowerment. This is still a work in progress but the vision is big ..... I invite you to join me on this transformative journey of bridging continents, celebrating the mosaic of diversity, and making a lasting impact. Together, let's craft a future where borders fade, and opportunities flourish for all. 🌍💫 #BridgingCultures #EmpoweringCommunities #CraftingConnections##EastAfricanCraftsCanada
