ABOUT US

"Awomi is about giving back to the community and giving hope to the hopeless. We are all about answering people’s prayers. This foundation is based on the bible scripture “Genesis 12:2-3, which reads – I will make you a great nation and I will bless you, I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. Our main objective is to allow God to bless people through us. We are here to raise a generation that knows that no matter how hard life may be or no matter where I come from and who I am, God answers prayers through people. We are honoured to allow God to use us to create a space where we can help those in need."

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to empower disadvantaged children and youth and giving hope to the hopeless. We will do this by restoring their human dignity, empowering them against all kinds of abuse and helping them reach their potential by journeying with them in their life. We will network with other organizations, so that they can become economically active and fully fit for the new South African Dream. A COUNTRY FREE OF CORRUPTION, ABUSE AND ILLITERACY.

VISION SATEMENT

Our combined vision as staff and committee members, together with the other stakeholders such as parents and support professionals is to see the organisation leading, motivating and becoming a major player on quality services through children empowerment, psychosocial support and education and in Western Cape townships.
