Alleviating Poverty in KZN
22 Mar 2022Al-Imdaad Foundation continues to work closely with the government of the KwaZulu-Natal Province and poverty alleviation programme Operation Sukuma Sakhe (OSS) to address needs in the province down to the ward level. During recent responses in various areas, OSS is a key partner in helping us to identify the neediest families. As the economy reels and unemployment grows our efforts to address poverty in the province and nationally will continue apace.
Operation Sukuma Sakhe began as the poverty eradication wing of the KZN government first spearheaded by former premier Dr Zweli Mkhize. It aims to make meaningful household interventions on poverty possible and to address the needs of the most vulnerable and deprived communities and households. In this way it seeks to make rural development and sustainable livelihood a realizable vision and to create opportunities for skills development and employment.
Operation Sukuma Sakhe aims to rebuild South African society by promoting values, fighting poverty, crime, diseases, deprivation and social ills, ensuring moral regeneration, by working together through effective partnerships. The vision, aims and objectives of Operation Sukuma Sakhe tie in closely with the Al-Imdaad Foundation’s own outlook as a proudly South African NGO committed to the development and upliftment of fellow South Africans.
The Al-Imdaad Foundation has thus, for a number of years now, been part of the institutional partnerships envisioned by Operation Sukuma Sakhe to actively address the social and developmental issues faced by poor South Africans.
