COMMUNITY SUPPORT OUTREACH

The community support outreach program enables us to extend help to those who cannot come to Tupendane due to financial or domestic constraints. At TAF, we are committed to inclusivity, offering assistance to everyone, including individuals who are sick or disabled and require extra care.

 

Target: Our target is to provide emotional and physical relief to individuals who are sick, disabled, or living in extreme poverty. These vulnerable groups often face significant challenges that prevent them from accessing the support they need.

​

​​Aims/Objectives: Our aim is to support anyone struggling to care for themselves and their families. Many of these individuals have endured domestic hardships such as abandonment, physical and emotional abuse, or health conditions. These challenges hinder their ability to secure employment, leaving them unable to provide basic necessities.

​

How will we operate?

We will identify individuals who qualify for our program (those who are sick, disabled, and living in poverty) and visit their homes. During these visits, we will have conversations with them to understand their specific needs. This information will be used to create a profile database for each person, enabling us to provide necessary food packages, medicines, and access to healthcare, including appointments and check-ups. The database will also help us conduct follow-up visits to assess their progress.

​

Challenges: Financial constraints are our biggest challenge in successfully delivering home visits and support. We need funding to purchase essential items such as food and medicines, as well as to provide personal care for emotional relief. Additionally, transportation costs for volunteers traveling to and from home visits, which can be located far from Tupendane, require funding.

​

VOCATIONAL CLASS

At TAF, we offer vocational classes to empower women to build their own businesses. Our goal is to help them become financially independent and capable of supporting themselves and their families. The women sell the products they create, using the profits for their necessities.

The vocational classes include:

• Beading: Learning to create bracelets and necklaces with various patterns.

• Tailoring: Learning to sew laptop bags, clothes, handbags, and wallets.

• Cooking: Learning to cook various items like cakes and samosas.

 

How will we operate? 

Every woman who joins TAF will be asked which vocational class they are interested in learning.

Challenges: We currently face a lack of materials and resources for the vocational classes. For beading, we need more supplies such as thread, string, beads, and beading boards. For tailoring, we only have four sewing machines and aim to acquire 15 more, along with additional fabric and thread. For cooking, we need more ingredients and a new kitchen that meets governmental standards.

​

DAY CARE

The TAF daycare is available for the children of mothers using our organization, as well as for parents who cannot afford schooling. We believe that all children should have access to a learning environment from a young age. The daycare also allows mothers to pursue employment opportunities.

​

Aims/Objectives:Our aim is to provide care for all children, giving them a strong starting point in life. We offer daycare for children ages 2-5, where they receive English lessons through fun games and songs.

 

How will we operate?

The daycare operates from 7 am to 5 pm. The children receive porridge in the morning and continue with English lessons throughout the day. They also have time for a nap in the afternoon.

 

Challenges: To run the daycare effectively, we need more funding to provide lunch, hire teachers, and acquire learning materials, classroom equipment, beds, and toys. In the future, we will also need a printer to print workbooks and examination papers.

 

BUSINESS TRAINING

TAF offers business training for those interested in starting their own businesses. This training teaches women how to launch and manage a business successfully.

 

Aims/Objectives:Our aim is to give women the opportunity to establish their own businesses and become financially independent.

 

How will we operate? Business training sessions will be held once a week from 9-11 am. We will cover topics such as creating business plans, strategies, and management techniques to ensure sustainable and efficiently run businesses.

 

Challenges: Funding is our primary challenge in business training. We need financial support to provide the women with certificates that allow them to legally sell products and the necessary technological materials for submitting required documents.
