What is your mission, vision, etc?
As of now, we have no mission. We do have visions, but we'd rather call them dreams. We dream that these students will complete their studies, find jobs, and then come back to support other children. We dream that a few years from now, we will not have to seek funds from the city-based friends-and-colleagues network. That the alumni will support the next set of students.
We at Kanasu Trust believe that having a mission will only restrict us and take us away from our raison d'ĂȘtre - the need felt by our kids. I understand that I should call them target group... but somehow they remain our kids!
So our mission could be:
- To fulfill needs felt strongly and expressed in the field of education and livelihood training.
- To mentor first-generation learners for a career in the world outside.
- To prepare the children of marginal farmers and landless labourers for life as equals in society.
This is so dynamic, and it will change. But, this is what we have been doing for the past three years, only the last one year is official!
