What is Working To Empower
Working to Empower is a non-profit and non-governmental organization working to empower sustainable, community-based change. Focused mainly upon HIV/AIDS education, WTE works in additional areas so as to counter-act the negative effects felt within society. Other approaches include providing school fees for orphans and income generating projects for the most vulnerable of society. Key to Working To Empower's success is the prominent role of local partners. Local needs are matched with locally based proposals by members of the community.
I am the founder of Working To Empower, a registered Canadian organization without Charitable status. I began the organization in 2005. In a nutshell I am the project manager and lead educator for HIV education projects. What makes the project unique is the youth-led training of local people to work within thier own communities. I try to act as a catalyst for change, empowering youth community based organizations focusing upon HIV & AIDS.
