Dare to Care Project
Give OnlineOur Dare Care initiative was inspired by the desire to make a difference in the lives of
people impacted by the crises brought on by COVID-19. During the pandemic, a cursory visit
to some of our marginalised communities showed young children sitting on the steps of
their homes or congregating on the roadside, unengaged in meaningful activity,
unsupervised, under nourished, and overcome by frustration, anxiety and fear for their
future. These were some of the cumulative impacts of businesses downsizing, adults
becoming unemployed, families lacking the basic resources to support the development of
their children.
Meeting the basic necessities of life became a priority for these children and their families
and Hands in Unison responded with care packages and Christmas Boxes of groceries.
The pandemic may be subsiding, but the hardships faced by many families continue.
Dare to Care! Help to bring hope to families in need!
Back to School Drive

Literacy Development Programme
Give OnlineIlliteracy functions as a barrier to continuing education and workforce integration for many young persons. Their lack of functional literacy limits their access to many mainstream opportunities for skill development training or job placement, leading to marginalization and a feeling of low self-worth.
Tutoring Support Programme
Give OnlineThe objective of the tutoring programme is to strengthen students’ academic performance to assure on-grade-level performance. Intervention may take various forms: Pull-out sessions supported by a resource room instructor. Guidance of the class teacher for in-class support. After school tutoring of the student. Working collaboratively with teacher training institutions, Hands in Unison will mobilise instructors through community service or internship placements.
