Movement for Good Focus Areas
South Africa faces many challenges. There are many areas where you can get involved. We have included a few here, including safety, education, health, upliftment and the environment. Select an area that means something to you ... and join the Movement for Good!
Safety
To help build safe and secure communities, everyone has to say no to crime. This includes thinking about the small laws people are tempted to commit, like speeding and littering, as well as how to reduce corruption and violent crime.
Environment
Each of us is nourished every day by our environment – through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the warmth of the sun. The beauty of nature gives us joy, and we use its many resources to create the world around us.
Yet many of us have not yet learned to live in a healthy and respectful relationship with nature, and our lifestyles and our economic systems are causing immense damage to the environment.
Education
We talk about our children as being our most precious treasures, and yet many of our schools are run down, they don’t have good resources, children are hungry, and the quality of education is poor. We also have many adults among us who are illiterate or semi-literate, and even more of us who, as we’ve gotten older, have given up on learning new skills or knowledge or behaviours.
What if we commit to becoming lifelong learners, making a habit of finding things that fascinate us and learning about them, no matter our age or circumstances? What if we become examples of always-learning, always-growing people – to our families and friends around us?
Health
We don’t have a great record of dealing with HIV & AIDS in our country. There are many organisations doing wonderful work, and our government is slowly responding with more programmes and support, but frightening numbers of us are still contracting this disease, and many of us living with the disease are struggling and dying, leaving more and more orphaned children.
Youth
To help build a better nation there needs to be a focus on the development of our youth. This consists of helping the children of South Africa to become healthier adults. By helping to adopt a school, mentor a young person or begin a community aftercare facility, one can make a difference in the lives of South Africa's young minds and hearts.
