Missie 15. Deel 1: visie, missie, doelgroep. Mission 15. Part 1: vision, mission, target group.

 

Enkele leerlingen van WORK Uganda bezoeken de nieuwe centrale markt van Kabale Some students of WORK Uganda visiting the new central market of Kabale

Van 23 maart tot 23 mei ging ik naar Oeganda. Dit is missie 15 ter ondersteuning van het PROUD-project. We werken in het project met een managementschema: visie, missie, doelgroep, operationeel plan, personeel, materieel, financieel, relaties en rapportering. Die worden dus elk jaar opnieuw bekeken in het werkplan. Ik besteed nu enkele artikelen aan het toelichten van het werk tijdens mijn missie.

In dit eerste luikje heb ik het over visie, missie en doelgroep.

Visie

Jongvolwassenen met een verstandelijke beperking als volwaardige gemeenschapsleden.

Missie

Nadruk komt te liggen op volwaardige werkkansen voor onze leerlingen. Maar ook op goed in het leven staan, op de kwaliteit van de relaties die ze als jongvolwassenen aangaan.

Doelgroep

7 jongvolwassenen, 6 vrouwen en 1 man met een verstandelijke beperking

We vertrekken van gelijke rechten voor personen met een verstandelijke beperking vergeleken bij andere burgers. Nu onze doelgroep geëvolueerd is van kinderen naar jongvolwassenen komen er andere accenten te liggen. Hun plaats in de gemeenschap, hun relatieleven en het verwerven van een job komen speciaal onder de aandacht.

Mission 15. Part 1: vision, mission, target group.

From March 23 to May 23 I went to Uganda. This is mission 15 in support of the PROUD project. We work in the project with a management scheme: vision, mission, target group, operational plan, personnel, material, financial, relations and reporting. They are therefore reviewed every year in the work plan. I now devote a few articles to explaining the work of my mission.

In this first section I talk about vision, mission and target group.

Vision

Young adults with intellectual disabilities as full community members.

Mission

The emphasis will be on full-fledged work opportunities for our students. But also on having a good attitude to life, on the quality of the relationships they enter into as young adults.

Target audience

7 young adults, 6 women and 1 man with an intellectual disability

We start from equal rights for people with intellectual disabilities compared to other citizens. Now that our target group has evolved from children to young adults, there are different accents. Their place in the community, their relationship life and acquiring a job are given special attention.

My first day at WORK Uganda, by Charity

 

Charity making contact with Pritty

My name is Charity Nshabahurira. It was on 25thApril 2023. I came when I didn’t know where the project was located. Along the way I met a certain young girl. I asked her where the Proud Uganda project was located and she directed me.

When I reached inside the project, I saw students and I asked them where the office was. They directed me to the manager and the advisor who welcomed me warmly. I introduced myself to them and they also introduced themselves to me.

I was oriented by Leon and we moved around the project premises, then after the manager told me that they will call me later to inform me about the outcome of the interview. The week later I was called by Mercy to report for the job.

My thankful message goes to the the manager and the advisor who helped me to get used to the project.

Note from WORK UG

Charity has studied at the vocational school of Bishop Asili. We found someone with vocational skills, cooking, baking, gardening and knitting among others. Vocational skills have become more important in the project now that we are training the girls of the target group for a job at PROUD Canteen. But Charity also has a reserve of talent and a responsible attitude.

In the mean time she started well in the project. She works in team with Apophia, who also has a background in vocational education, more in particular hotel and tourism. Apophia is our appreciated collaborator since many years.
