Why we started SBWCDEC?
The pivotal moment that inspired the creation of our organization was a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the community at large. It became evident that there were multiple facets of empowerment required to uplift the community, encompassing economic, health, and educational aspects.
The motivation to establish our organization stemmed from witnessing the challenges faced by the community’s youth, families, and the broader community:
Economic Empowerment
The community was grappling with economic disparities, limited job opportunities, and financial instability. It became increasingly clear that economic empowerment was essential to break the cycle of poverty and provide individuals and families with the tools to achieve financial independence.
Health & Well-Being
Health disparities and limited access to healthcare resources were negatively affecting the community’s overall well-being. Chronic health conditions, including diabetes, were prevalent, and there was a pressing need for resources and support to improve health outcomes and overall quality of life
Educational Support
Many youth in the community faced educational challenges, from limited access to quality education to a lack of mentorship and educational resources. Empowering the youth through media literacy education was crucial to unlock their potential and provide them with the skills needed for a brighter future.
