Between 2007 and 2011, FairServices did extensive research to find out why and how poverty passes from generation to generation and how to break this circle of poverty. We wanted to be sure that we didn't approach the problem from our own culture and experience but rather from the real situation of the local people themselves. We had group talks about specific subjects, we did 3 big scale projects where we visited and interviewed about 1200 families in their homes and we spent many hours of researching on the Internet. It became clear that we had to start with the children but work on each of the causes and problems at a broad level, including the parents, the home situation, the schools, etc.

To offer the best possible content and services to the children and their families we work with a set program and a defined structure.

The manager, coordinators, volunteers and interns have unlimited access to our offices at FairServices and can use all the equipment we have. We have several good computers, fast internet and WiFi, printers, copiers, laminators, scanners, camera and video camera, ....
New volunteers get a personal training to understand all procedures and structures so they can make a perfect start at WaaW. Every Monday before the project starts we have a meeting with everyone involved to review the structures, possible improvements and where volunteers can ask questions. On the last Thursday of each month there is another meeting before the project starts to prepare the coming one. We also talk about possible problems with individual kids or families. |
