H4H – YOUTH & WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PROJECT
From "People Powered Green Street"
Go to the project
Proposed budget
Description
Hope 4 Humanity is an organisation that has been in operation since 2020 in the Borough of Newham. We run a food bank there as well as we have been running several successful projects over the course of this time.
The project that we are proposing to do is called the "Women's and Youth Empowerment Project" which will be holistic, dynamic and efficient. It will involve 40 youths and 40 women in the Neighbourhood of Green Street.
Activities will be tailored to meet the needs of these two groups of people. We will ensure that young people have the ability and skill to excel, regardless of their background and circumstances. Our project will also ensure that the 40 women specified, will get the opportunity to improve their health and well-being, as well as the young people. .Women will get the chance to participate in robust activities tailored to meet their needs. We will teach the young people about app making and give them training in media and the logistics around this area. Although young people know about social media platforms, they sometimes lack the knowledge of how to use and apply it properly and to their advantage. We intend to change this by providing the appropriate training in Digital Media, which will build upon their confidence, and boost their self-esteem. In doing so young people can begin to believe that they too can be on radio or television as well as they can start lucrative YouTube businesses etc., which will benefit themselves and their neighborhood. Kickboxing will also be one of the activities that young people will be given training in.
Secondly, the 40 women involved will participate in a catalogue of activities that will be uplifting and satisfying. They will have dance lessons as well as women will get lessons in acting and in self-defence. We want women to learn how to protect themselves and to be safe and feel safe in their community. We will have a health cafe, where women will be given health information and advice as needed. Outside professionals as well as our staff will facilitate most of the sessions..
We will work from the SMART project model, which means that our goals will be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.
Young people will be enabled to become future ambassadors and entrepreneurs in their community and there will be a combination of health benefits for women and mental stability
