This program focuses on the needs of not only the Delmas/ Botleng area as an entity, but was designed to touch everypoverty affected household in the greater Delmas area. Further advantages of this program are that it created a vehicle were every NGO operating in this area can join hands and work from a centralized office towards a common goal without loosing their own identity and vision.
It also creates a vehicle were Local Government and the private sector can monitor all ongoing projects through a single organization thus creating a streamlined flow of information.The needs identified in this project are an accumulation of intensive research on grassroots level, various inputs from stakeholders in the Local Government and the private sector.
