Our Focus Areas
In response to the numerous challenges facing communities, OHO works with people within the community to develop and empower them in a holistic manner hoping to make an impact on various aspects of their lives. OHO understands the potential of Africa and have dedicated itself to preserving the African continent’s future. Organisation Hands On (OHO) seeks to forge partnerships with governments and private sectors’ programmes to achieve the following interventions:
Paving the Way for Better Opportunities
Our unwavering commitment lies in empowering community members to seamlessly transition into brighter horizons. Through meticulously designed initiatives, we stand dedicated to fostering pathways that lead to improved opportunities. Our focus extends beyond mere assistance – we are catalysts for change, propelling individuals towards fulfilling careers and enriched lives. By synergizing expertise, resources, and a profound sense of purpose, we pave the way for community members to embark on transformative journeys, where aspirations evolve into achievements. Join us in shaping a future brimming with promise and potential.
The barriers to achieving economic growth and poverty reduction, led to the establishment of our learnership and skills programmes. These are accredited and non- accredited programmes. Our strong sense of community development commitment has seen us making a difference in the lives of young people in the surrounding communities. We are committed to helping and shaping a more stronger and literate youth. Today’s society is largely driven by knowledge and there is an insatiable demand for new skills
