We believe that people are the reason for and the means through which development can be achieved. Unless communities or groups of people are aware of their roles and rights, they are not in a position to bring about change. The past experiences of these populations have shaped
how they relate to the context of today. If this process is carefully studied, we can understand why certain situations are now in place. So in SFOCSG, we have put huge amounts of resources into in-depth studies of the communities we work with.
We believe public education is the cornerstone of our republic. Public education provides individuals with the skills to be involved, informed and engaged.
