Mission Statement
Mission Statement: to help children and young people disadvantaged through poverty, disability or otherwise vulnerable, in partnership with locally managed centres in Africa and India. We also support well-prepared volunteers to offer practical help, skill-sharing and friendship. How we work: we work in partnership with in-country managers to realise their vision of supporting vulnerable children and alleviating poverty within their communities. This means ownership remains within the local community and we are committed to supporting our partner projects move towards sustainability. Meet our partners: we are incredibly fortunate to have such inspirational partners overseas. It is thanks to their vision, dedication and tireless hard work, as well as the support of the wonderful staff and volunteers who work alongside them, that we can further our mission as outlined above.
About This Cause
The HATW Jersey branch is run entirely on a voluntary basis by people who have participated in project teams in Brazil, Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia and Kenya. We receive generous support from other local people and organisations in Jersey who have known David Steiner and his work to help improve the lives of children in Africa and Asia. We have had fantastic financial support from the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission who have recognized us as a local Jersey Charity with active links with overseas communities. They have funded construction projects for schools, vocational training centres and health centres We work with our volunteers and partners overseas to support centres, providing education and training and improving medical facilities for vulnerable children and teenagers. Volunteers are integral to our work. We have active links with partner organisations overseas through project visits, generally lasting between 3-4 weeks. Jersey volunteers, who are given orientation by us, give their time and experience, working alongside local people in the communities abroad in practical tasks such as building, painting, skills training and teaching.
