We provide holistic care to vulnerable communities through social work programs. These programs are developed in meeting the needs of the community and fostering holistic transformation in the lives of the people. Our goal is to restore hope and bring healing, protection and assurance, and a chance to start anew. Ultimately, we want them to find true hope, real peace, and a new life.
Refugee populations often face psychosocial challenges related to displacement and systemic instability. At ECB, we support the mental, emotional and social well-being of such individuals and families, through psychosocial support services such as counselling, support groups and case management. These services are offered alongside practical help like emergency cash assistance, birth registration and referrals to other relevant organizations. Our goal is to strengthen the resilience of these individuals and families so that they can regain autonomy and eventually thrive within their communities.
Our protection services focus on safeguarding people from harm, abuse, neglect, and other safety risks. We identify and respond to such concerns, as well as facilitate access to safe environments and essential support. Our interventions include temporary safe shelter placements for women and children at risk. Through our protection services, we seek to ensure the safety, dignity, and stability needed for the service users to transit from crisis to self-sufficiency.
Our preventive programmes focus on upstream interventions, where we aim to mitigate issues before they escalate, by addressing the risks early. Some of these programmes include targeted advocacy projects and wellness workshops which equip and facilitate the transfer of knowledge within the refugee communities. We aim to improve the holistic well-being and build capacity of the refugee communities in the long-term, extending across generations.
Relief work is crucial in providing immediate support to those affected by unexpected emergencies. At ElShaddai Centre, we believe in building connections and addressing underlying issues through relief support. To ensure long-term benefits for the community, we have established a financial assistance fund, a short-term interest-free loan program, and a community savings program. We distribute physical provisions to those in need through donations and sponsorships from corporations, NGOs, and individuals.
The Talents & Jobs Network at ElShaddai Centre functions as a network to gather talents and skilled workers. The primary objective is to match individuals with suitable employment opportunities according to their talents and skills. To further empower the individuals job consultation and skill development will be offered to the individuals as well.
