There is an African proverb often quoted that states, Be the right to their left. For the synergy that comes from working well with someone else creates something greater than both of you individually. If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together. As Single Parents Initiative look for both individuals and organizations who we can work with the aim of achieving our mission.
The questions we ask individuals is what do you have in your hands. Once we have identified the skill at their disposal then we can partner with organizations that are more inclined to the individuals area of interest.
For example, if an individual has a farm and all along they have been planting maize and beans and they do not get any yields out of this, We through our networks and partner organisations, will come and train the individual on good farming practices and perhaps the farm that was meant to do maize and beans was meant to do French beans.
We advance individuals skills so in the long run we have an individual who is more self-dependent. This in-turn creates a ripple effect of a happy parent, is equal to happy children then further transforms to a happy society.
