The team at People First have experience in building significant food security programs.
One such program partner distributes the equivalent of 400,000 meals per annum across three locations.
One participant recently said “I had no idea how I was going to manage the cost of living and feed my family. This food parcel has not only practically helped us, but it has given us hope”.
People First have expertise in building localised food security programs like this one.
Community groups, sports clubs and religious groups all experienced the impact of the pandemic on Mental Health.
Our partners worked to train entire teams of people to support people struggling with mental health and suicide ideation.
In 2020, teams of 25 people at a time, went through Mental Health First Aid training, including suicide prevention and postvention.
At People First, we facilitate accredited training in these important social areas.
This is Zeke! Zeke is a 19 year old who has found a sense of real purpose and happiness through part time work.
Zeke had Down Syndrome and is not yet verbal, which can cause a lot of limitations and challenges, both functional and emotional. However through the power of a job, he has discovered a sense of worth, contribution and peace.
Zeke’s Dad tells us that his whole life has changed. He is happier, more fulfilled and communicates openly.
Zeke demonstrates the value and dignity that comes from work!
