outreach community programs

Outreach Community Project #1

Sports & Games:

One of the five tools SCN wants to use to engage the Cole farm community is sports. Sports can play a significant role in building sustainable communities by fostering social cohesion, promoting physical and mental well-being, and creating opportunities for
personal and collective development.

On the 23rd of December 2023, SCN conducted a friendly football match to encourage physical activity, raising awareness about the importance of exercise and community interaction, and fostering sustainable communities.

Outreach Community Project #2

Health and Environment (Cleaning):

By combining health and environmental initiatives, SCN could create a holistic and
sustainable transformation in the Cole Farm community, fostering a healthier, more
resilient, and economically empowered population. Regular community engagement,
monitoring, and adaptation of strategies based on community feedback will be essential for long–term success.

SCN organized a community–wide cleaning exercise on the 23rd of December 2023 to remove litter, graffiti, and debris from the environment and to raise awareness about the importance of a clean environment.

Outreach Community Project #3

Community Awareness on Drug Abuse:

Sustainable Communities Network (SCN) and Youth in Actions Against Drugs (YAAD) organized a drug sensitization march to raise awareness about the dangers of Kush and other illegal drugs. The march covered the communities of Cole Farm, Murray Town, and Aberdeen.

With ongoing monitoring and evaluation, SCN and YAAD aim to sustain their efforts and make a significant impact in preventing drug abuse in the communities. The coverage by major media and TV stations, AYV and SLBC, further amplified the reach and impact of the sensitization campaign.
