OVERALL GOAL
Empowering the disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalised through capacity building, and improved access to resources and their rights. To achieve its overall goal the organisation carefully selected the following focus areas:
Education
Objective
To increase access to quality education for disadvantaged communities by improving educational facilities, providing learning resources, and offering scholarships. The program also aims to enhance literacy and vocational skills among children and adults, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve self-reliance and contribute positively to their communities.
Economic Empowerment
Objective
To promote economic self-sufficiency and reduce poverty among marginalised groups. This involves providing training in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and vocational skills, as well as facilitating access to microfinance and other economic opportunities. The program aims to enable individuals to create sustainable livelihoods and improve their overall quality of life.
Health
Objective
To improve health outcomes in vulnerable communities by increasing access to healthcare services, promoting health education, and supporting initiatives that address prevalent health challenges. The program focuses on preventive care, maternal and child health, and the management of chronic diseases, aiming to enhance the overall well-being and resilience of communities.
Water & Environment
Objective
To ensure access to clean and safe water and to promote sustainable environmental practices. This includes the construction and maintenance of water supply systems, promoting hygiene and sanitation practices, and educating communities about environmental conservation. The program aims to reduce waterborne diseases, improve public health, and foster a healthier environment for future generations.
Through these goals, ReachAll works towards building empowered, functional, and thriving communities in Zambia. As an Organisation, we will refine the direction of our programs while continuing to enhance and expand our commitment to collective action and learning. An approach that has always been, and will remain, central to ReachAll’s identity and work.
In addition, we have aligned our goals with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), adopted globally in September 2000 to reduce extreme poverty and we are committed to contributing meaningfully through our focused program areas. By leveraging our programmatic expertise, we aim to influence local policies and practices that affect children, youth, women, and communities.
