Activities:
- VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Skills Development Programme: The project supports women and youth access agribusiness, vocational and entrepreneurship skills as a way of reducing the number of people going to work in the dumpsite because that is the only place they can work in. DADREG is currently operating a vocational training centre where women and girls from the dumpsite are provided with hands on skills.
- MICRO-CREDIT & ENTRPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM: Skills Development Programme: The project supports women and youth access agribusiness, vocational and entrepreneurship skills as a way of reducing the number of people going to work in the dumpsite because that is the only place they can work in. DADREG is currently operating a vocational training centre where women and girls from the dumpsite are provided with hands on skills.
- WATER & SANITATION PROGRAMS: Water and sanitation are human rights. Lack of access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene disproportionately affects women and girls:
Not only are women often responsible for fetching water and since this is time consuming, it prevents them from gaining an education, earning a formal wage and therefore puts gender equality under pressure
Next to that, girls experience sexual harassment, coercion and violence when they are collecting water due to the long distances they have to walk. Or it occurs when they have to wait for hours in long queues facing power inequality by the men managing the water points
- AGRICULTURE: Through this program:
– To empower women involved in subsistence farming to undertake modern farming techniques to grow food that they can consume and sell to fight hunger and poverty, thus improving their livelihoods and those of their communities.
-To increased food security and sustainable livelihood for women headed families/ homesteads
-Limited capital and access to affordable credit. Majority of women do not own land, yet they form the largest workforce in agriculture. Lack of capital and access to affordable credit means that they cannot afford to purchase basic farm inputs, pay for agricultural extension workers services, weed out their farms and access modern technology to improve farm yields. This in turn leads to food insecurity. Many women headed homesteads suffer from food insecurity due to the fact that women do not have resources to buy certified seeds, manures, equipment. Nor do they have access to credit to buy fish, thus not able to compete with those who buy fish in bulk for sale in big cities.
-Train women in value-additions to be able to gain more from the activities they will undertake.
-Improve livelihoods of women living in abject poverty, thus reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS which comes as a result of poverty.
- SPORTS
- EDUCATION: DADREG believes that in order to reduce poverty and ignorance, there is need to invest in education. To do this, DADREG has invested in education of children rehabilitated from the dumpsite and children with disabilities by supporting these children with uniforms, writing materials, desks and tables while also supporting public schools that admits these children by putting up library facilities fully equipped with books so that these children are not sent home again because they lack text books. DADREG also has set up a technology centre in one of the public schools that has Special Unit Program for children with disabilities to make education exciting for disabled children.
