Compassion Soul Winners Outreach International (CSWOI) was started by Francis Asomaning to help communities in Ghana and South Africa fight hunger and poverty.
One of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, calls for the end of poverty in all forms.This goal is followed by Sustainable Development Goal 2 ,which aims to achieve “zero hunger. These goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
CSWOI was initiated after learning that thousands of children were not going to school in the Sapieman Community (Ghana) and Kempton Park community (South Africa) because their guardians could not afford to pay for school fees and in some instances classes were overcrowded.
Hence, Asomaning came up with an idea to have an after school after school program which focuses on educating and protecting the rights of children.The school program develops the full cognitive, emotional, social and physical potential of a child.
According to the late Nelson Mandela,”Educating all of our children must be one of our most urgent priorities.We all know that education, more than anything else, improves our chances of building better lives”.Inspired by Madiba’s love for children, the NPO believes that all children have to receive good education.
Over the years, they have been supplying the two communities with education materials and organizing educational programs both online and offline for children who are enrolled in government schools and children who are struggling with their studies due to the poverty.
Moreover, the NPO also runs a number of projects which include health care, distributing of bibles, empowering women and empowering farmers who will promote sustainable agriculture.CSWOI has empowered 500 + Women, provided food Parcels for 100 + families, distributed education Materials to 500+ children and distributed Free KingJames bibles to 200 people.
The Covid -19 lock-down implemented by the South African government beginning on 27 March 2020 left a lot of families in dire need of financial assistance.The South African government issued R350 grants to assist unemployed citizens with essentials but the cost of living is forever increasing. According to Asomaning, “people who live in Kempton Park have been struggling with poverty since 2012 and the COVID pandemic made matters worse”.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Asomaning and his team relied on a variety of funding sources, from private donations to membership dues and governmental contributions.Thanks to assistance from these sources, they managed to keep the NPO open regardless of the challenges.
CSWOI would like to educate more kids this year and with your help they can achieve this goal.The NPO is calling companies, foundations, institutions, organizations, churches, and individuals to donate and support their projects.
