ICT to young people through digital skilling .
Description
AFFCAD’s fundamental innovation is recognizing that issues are deeply interconnected with a self reinforcing ecosystem within the community. As an organization we move beyond charity to create systemic, community owned change by providing a planform where young people have access to computers and internet to utilize the global world for business .
Impact
AFFCAD's integrated model creates a powerful virtuous cycle of socio-economic development within marginalized communities. Economically, it transforms recipients of aid into active economic participants. By providing vocational training, seed capital, and business mentorship, it directly creates entrepreneurs and small business owners, boosting local income, reducing unemployment, and stimulating the local economy. Socially, this economic empowerment fuels broader change. Increased financial stability improves access to education and healthcare, strengthens community cohesion, and reduces crime and idleness. Crucially, AFFCAD's focus on civic education and advocacy empowers citizens to demand better public services and uphold their rights, leading to more resilient, self-determining communities.
Target Audience
Direct: Marginalized youth, women, and children who receive skills, jobs, and education. Indirect: Their families and the wider community, which benefit from a stronger economy and improved services. Systemic: Governments and other NGOs that can learn from its successful model.
