goal of the project
The overall goal is to improve the living conditions of the population in the rural diocese of Aliwal, especially children and young people, through social, cultural, educational and religious programs, as well as leisure and sport.
A center is to be built around the former convent on Farm Mount Carmel that is capable of sustainably supporting and achieving this goal.
Areas of action
The current situation affects people's lives in many ways. The lack of opportunities exacerbates widespread poverty. The Mount Carmel project therefore wants:
Offering a space for experiences and reflection, especially for young people, for example:
Seminars for human and spiritual development
Events about culture - towards dynamic identity development
Quality sports events with adequate facilities
Training in skills that help a professional career:
The continuation of the marimba project with emphasis on management for performances
Training in justice and peace issues for the whole environment.
Further training of adults who are responsible for the education of children and adolescents: teachers, advisory boards, parents, but also students themselves.
Development of self-confidence through the acquisition of new skills that can later be used, for example, for small businesses and also in the environmental field.
Training especially for leaders in small Christian communities who can make a significant contribution to improving local conditions. They are particularly good at establishing a network that combines central training with local knowledge transfer and implementation.
