Objectives
The objectives of Partners Around The World include education and social integration, values building, and humanitarian aid.
Most of the children and adults with whom we work have little or no instruction or experience that
that would prepare them to join the main stream culture of Ivory Coast. The values of living on the streets or in
enclaves of abject poverty, and the low level of education, are too often at odds with the skills needed
to become fully functioning citizens. Our efforts to improve
this state of affairs include the following:
Education and Social Integration
Our objectives concerning education and social integration are to
provide
centers of primary-level education, sewing training (to provide useful job skills), and adult
literacy. We also support a soccer team consisting of disadvantaged
teenagers.
Values Building
Our objectives include
values building where we work to train and inspire at-risk youth in cultural, societal,
and spiritual values, helping them to integrate into a stable society and enjoy a better future.
Humanitarian Aid
Our objectives concerning humanitarian aid are to provide food, offer
medical assistance, give student aid, and educate children and parents
concerning proper hygiene, HIV/AIDS, and malaria and
other illnesses.
