What do we do

Net working and research.

Besides networking a thorough inventory will be made of the most urgent aid needed. We will attract partners on the spot as well as in Holland. A number of initiatives on larger and smaller scale are already in place who each act from their own specialisation and force. The foundation Willing and Able wants to play its part for a specific target group through its own ideology, methods and method.

A number of examples of projects that have already been contacted from the Netherlands are Ons Plek (Bloemfontein), Mad about Art (Capetown and environs), Afriaid ( near Durban), the foundation  “Adoptiebedje” (Johannesberg) and  “Dutch support Group Kenya”.  

Through the Schorer Foundation we contacted the Triangle project. They strive for a non-discriminatory society. A group that can be supported by willing and Able.

Capetown has complex problems. Young people do not only excessively abuse alcohol, but more and more drugs are resorted to. Especially crystal meths. A relatively recent drug in that area.. This increases the risk of HIV/Aids infection. How to get out of this vicious circle?

A qualified quartermaster can reach young people in Capetown. He can offer them a choice, a choice that they will have to make themselves. He will do this in cooperation with those organisations that are already in place. But most important is that these young people will get the opportunity to change their live.

We can help them to make a positive choice, to accept a new lease on live, improve their health by using medicine and offer educational support.

We are aware that we will never be successful for the full hundred percent. But being there will reinforce it self. Good results will lead to activities among the young and later to activities in the community as a whole. Peer group method.

Cooperation with other organisations and the expertise with material and financial backing from the Netherlands will provide a solid and workable base in establishing this project.
