Key Messages

 

The key message from our weekly communication and menu, which is often made of three courses, is as follows.

 

• Back-to-relief Programme: Programme for Pre-autumn Season 2022

 

Back-to-relief Programme is a set of related activities and services with an aim of reducing poverty (particularly back-to-school poverty but not exclusively) amongst multi-dimensional poor children, young and families (MDPCYPFs) by working with them to meet their needs after summer break and/or holiday so that they can start September 2022 without or with less hardship.

The programme is made of a number of supportive elements like the following:

Capacity and skills development, advice, advocacy, translation, information, guidance, support to child educational needs in Africa, signposting, etc. 

The programme is generally run around September and can be extended to October depending on the needs in the community and available resources.

 

• • The particularity of this year’s programme

 

The Back-to-relief 2022 programme is designed to include the needs of these returnees.  It is also conceptualised to anticipate any changes of situation due to any potential hikes in the cost of living or any other events (like the lingering effects of the coronavirus, changing climate, etc.).

This year’s programme will be influenced by the current cost-of-living crisis which is causing many problems to many people, especially those in need.  The cost-of-living crisis has been throughout the all Summer 2022.

 

• • Types of returnees who may need this year’s programme

 

At the end of this Summer 2022 and during this September, we may have three types of returnees, who are:

✔ MDPCYPFs who already planned what they want to do and how they will continue to manage the cost-of-living crisis and their other aspects of life

✔ MDPCYPFs who already planned their start of September and the end of Summer 2022, but they may need some help to carry on with their plan or family project

✔ MDPCYPFs who could not plan because they could be overwhelmed by the impact of the cost-of-living crisis or poverty and may need advice in terms of coping strategies during this September.

 

• • What these returnees may need

 

Because we are dealing with MDPCYPFs, who are supposed to be poor or in need, they could ask for some support in the form of information, advice and guidance to cope or manage their problems.

They could even require further advisory support during this September as many of them would face the pressure linked to the end of Summer and the start of Autumn, in particular those families having to deal with the financial pressure of the start of the new academic year for their children.

They need advice to cope with poverty in which they are already, to deal with the on-going cost-of-living crisis and the financial pressure to send back to school their children for those having children at schooling age.  This is why we have assembled activities and services (that is; the Back-to-relief Programme) to work with them.

For more on CENFACS’ Back-to-relief Programme, please read the details under Main Development section of this post.

 

 

 

• September: Advice-giving Month

 

We run Advice service as part of our activities throughout the year.  However, Advice is CENFACS’ main theme in September.  Because that, it is more pronounced in September compared to other months of the year.  In other words, we invest more resources in advice in September than at any other times of the year.

We provide generalist advice to both individuals and organisations as mentioned above.  We also give specialist advice on matters relating to the fields of poverty reduction and international development.  We can as well signpost beneficiaries to other organisations/individuals providing specialist advice if beneficiaries’ request for advice is beyond or outside our advice capacity and resources.

Advice can be given in the context of Back-to-Relief Programme and outside this context.  When Advice is given in the context of Back-to-Relief Programme, it becomes constituent part of this programme like other elements making this programme.

Under the Main Development section of this post, there is much more information about this year’s advisory support.

 

 

 

• Goal of the Month: Reduction of Back-to-school Poverty

 

Our goal for the month of September 2022 is the reduction of back-to-school poverty.  To deliver this goal, we need to understand it and work with those who may likely experience back-to-school poverty.

 

• • What is back-to-school poverty?

 

Back-to-school poverty is the inability to afford the educational requirements of the start of the new school year.  It is the inability for parents and carers to meet the basic life-sustaining needs of education for their children in terms of purchasing school items (such as uniforms, clothes, books, electronics, etc.) and providing the basic infrastructures and necessities (whether it is at home or outside) to support the education of their children.

This incapacity can include other expenses that compete against or with educational materials; expenses that are school fees, living expenses to start a new school year, transport cost to travel to schools, food, a place to study at home, family relocation, adequate meal to study, a proper bed to sleep well, coronavirus costs, basic healthcare and hygiene at home, etc.

Back-to-school poverty can be tackled.  This is why during this September we will be working with those suffering or may suffer from back-to-school poverty so that they can find the tools and means to navigate their way out of this type of poverty.

 

• • Working with the community to tackle back-to-school poverty

 

CENFACS does not provide money to tackle back-to-school poverty; CENFACS can however work with the community through its advice service so that the members of its community can find their way out of this type of poverty.  Particularly and specifically, CENFACS can work with them on the following:

 

✔ Reducing the competition between living expenses and educational expenses within the household budget coverage

✔ Exploring potential supporters to help them with educational costs for their children education

✔ Budgeting with them their living expenses for a better start of the academic year

✔ Examining together any issues relating to transport cost to travel to schools or places of education while advising them on net zero CO2 emitting means of transport

✔ Discussing ways of saving on energy use, food and meals relating to educational purposes

✔ Looking into school catchment area for those looking for a place to study

✔ Work on a feasible and realistic plan when studying at home

✔ Supporting family relocation matters (e.g., accommodation in the vicinity of schools and working places for parents)

✔ Working with them to tackle hygiene poverty to keep children better engaged with their education and learning

Etc.

The above is our poverty reduction goal for this month, which we are asking to our audiences and supporters to help or promote.

 

 

 

 

Extra Messages

 

• Activity/Task 9 of the Knowledge (‘K’) Year and Project: Give Opinions, Not Advice

 

The 9th Activity or Task of our ‘K’ Year and Project is about giving your opinions or saying what you know about the issue those in need are experiencing or would like to hear other people’s views.  It is about giving your opinions without advising (that is, without counselling or suggesting or recommending or offering) them what they can do to resolve the problems.  It is also about empowering people to lead their lives without telling them what to do.

Sometimes, people in need would like to listen to others so that they can find ways forward about their problems.  They do not necessarily need to be told what to do.  However, your knowledge of their problems and similar problems when expressed through your opinion can sometimes provide them some clues without necessarily advising them.

The above is the Activity or Task no. 9 for the ‘K’ Year/Project for those who are interested in carrying it out.  For those who want any clarification of any aspects of the activity or task, they can contact CENFACS.

 

 

 

• Happiness and Healthiness Journal –

It is time to share the contents of your creative activity

 

After six weeks of journaling, it is time to start sharing the contents of your journal.  Indeed, during the last six weeks of Summer, some of you have been journaling on one of the six predictors that explain happiness and healthiness, which are: income, social support, healthy life expectancy, generosity, freedom to choose and trust.

As previously said, the contents of these journals could be shared with the community at the end of Summer 2022 as a Summer memory.  Although Summer is not yet over, those who have created their Happiness and Healthiness Journal can start to share with the community.

Please share with the community your experience of happy and healthy Summer through the contents of your journal to help build a better Summer holiday experience and memory.

 

 

 

• Unlock your Summer Holiday Data and Tell your Story

 

Throughout our July and August 2022 communications, we have been asking everybody to store and keep their Summer data so that when we all return, we can report back or share parts of our Summer experiences that are shareable and spreadable.

Now some of you are back, we can try to feedback our poverty-reduction and development experiences of using Happiness and Healthiness projects and of any other similar activities over the Summer period.

One can also feedback any creations, any experiences with natural capital assets, any community practices and any volunteering stories, if they volunteered, they had over the last two months.

One can report back a personal Summer experience as well.

Likewise, one can combine their Summer journal (about predictors that explain happiness and healthiness) and this reporting back exercise into a single or all-in-one Summer report.

For those who managed to store their Summer data and who would like to share their experiences, this is the time to start unlocking their Summer data and preparing to tell their Summer story.

Sharing your experiences with us in this way helps to keep the CENFACS Community active, engaged, connected and grow together.  It also contributes in carrying out prescriptive analytics that enables to use smart data discovery capabilities to predict market developments and trends to help relieve or possibly end poverty and hardships within our community and beyond.

Please share your poverty-relieving and development experiences and contents with us; parts of your experiences and contents that you think are shareable.

Should anyone have any concern about data protection issues regarding the sharing of their information, please let CENFACS know.  We will be able to assist.

Déverrouillez vos données de vacances d’été et racontez votre histoire

Tout au long de nos communications de juillet et août 2022, nous avons demandé à tout le monde de stocker et de conserver ses données estivales afin que, lorsque nous reviendrons tous et toutes, nous puissions rendre compte ou partager des parties de nos expériences estivales qui sont partageables et diffusables.

Maintenant que certain(e)s d’entre vous sont de retour, nous pouvons essayer de faire part de nos expériences de réduction de la pauvreté et de développement de l’utilisation des projets ‘Bonheur et santé’ et de toute autre activité similaire au cours de la période estivale.

On peut également faire la rétroaction sur toutes les créations, toutes les expériences avec les actifs en capital naturel, toutes les pratiques communautaires et toutes les histoires de bénévolat, s’ils/elles ont fait du bénévolat, ils/elles ont eu au cours des deux derniers mois.  On peut également rapporter une expérience estivale personnelle.

Pour ceux/celles qui ont réussi à stocker leurs données d’été et qui souhaitent partager leurs expériences, c’est le moment de commencer à déverrouiller leurs données d’été et de se préparer à raconter leur histoire d’été.

Partager vos expériences avec nous de cette manière aide à garder la communauté CENFACS active, engagée, connectée et à grandir ensemble.

Il contribue également à la réalisation d’analyses prescriptives qui permettent d’utiliser des capacités de découverte de données intelligentes pour prédire les développements et les tendances du marché afin d’aider à soulager ou éventuellement à mettre fin à la pauvreté et aux difficultés au sein de notre communauté et au-delà.

S’il vous plaît, partagez avec nous vos expériences et vos contenus de lutte contre la pauvreté et de développement; des parties de vos expériences et contenus que vous pensez être partageables.

Si quelqu’un a des préoccupations concernant des questions de protection des données concernant le partage de ses informations, veuillez en informer le CENFACS.  Nous serons en mesure de vous aider.

Back-to-relief Programme: Programme for Pre-autumn Season 2022

 

The following covers our programme for this pre-autumnal season:

 

∝ Back-to-relief Projects

∝ Open Days under Back-to-Relief Programme

∝ Support for Crisis-impacted Children in Africa 

∝ Back to the Upkeep of the Nature this September 2022

∝ Back to Advisory Support this September 2022

∝ Back to the Upkeep of the Nature with the Theme of “Green Spaces”

Green spaces-focused Note for Week Beginning 05/09/2022

 

 

• • Back-to-relief Projects 

 

As previously mentioned, most of our projects and programmes are organised to take into account the lives and needs of our beneficiaries, supporters as well.  Some of them will be back this week after Summer break.  They are back for the New Academic Year and New Relief, year for which we have prepared projects and programmes to work with them so that they can meet their existing, challenging, changing and emerging needs – the back-to-relief projects and programmes.

Amongst the back-to-relief projects and programmes, there are these two ones:  Open Days and Support to Children. 

 

• • Open Days under Back-to-Relief Programme

 

Since we set up hybrid way of delivering service as a legacy of the coronavirus, we continue to operate virtually/online and in-person.  There are reasons we operate both ways.

One of these reasons is that it is not always easy for people, especially those who have some physical handicaps and parents with small kids, to in-person move and meet service providers if this service provision cannot physically come to them even if the need is pressing.

Where we are in a position to in-person organise the service requested, users can in-person access the given service prior to arranging an appointment.

So, our open days will be both virtual and in-person.  They are virtual days to enable those in need but cannot move physically to access services.  They are in-person for those who prefer in-person open days.  For the latter ones, they need to book an appointment for in-person open day to happen.

 

• • • What are virtual and in-person open days?

 

Virtual and In-person Open Days (VIODs) are a back-to-relief initiative organised by CENFACS during this September 2022 to enable people in need to access our advice service and other similar services in order to reduce or end poverty linked to their situations or conditions of life.

 

• • • How VIODs work

 

Our Virtual Open Day, which will be every Fridays of September 2022, will be held from 10 am to 2 pm.

You can access VODs by contacting CENFACS.

You do not need to register with us.

Every Fridays, you can either email or phone or even text between 10 am and 2 pm.

Our In-person Open Day, which will also be every Fridays of September 2022, will be held from 10 am to 2 pm.   An appointment needs to be booked to have in-person open day.

For more on CENFACS’ Virtual and In-person Open Hours and Days as well as how they work, please contact us.

 

• • Support for Crisis-impacted Children in Africa 

 

Another back-to-relief initiative for this September 2022 is Support for Crisis-impacted Children in Africa, particularly the Children of Conflict-stricken and Climate Change-affected Areas of Africa in this September and beyond.  This initiative relates to the humanitarian appeals we launched this year, which are:

 

Appeal to End Food Insecurity in the Eastern Horn of Africa

The Children of Chad Need Your Support at the Moment

The Internally Displaced People of Rutshuru Need Help

The People of Lake Chad Still Need Support.

 

These appeals were launched under the Light projects.

The people on whose behalf these appeals were made include children. Children were amongst displaced persons, the victims of conflict and food insecure as part of appeal beneficiaries.

While one can still ask the progress made to save and rebuild these crisis-impacted lives, one can also question about the support that the children affected by these crises are receiving and/or received, especially at this challenging time of the cost-of-living crisis.

This questioning is relevant as we are in September when a new school or academic year starts in many parts of the world and of Africa.  This questioning is even founded at this time when many parents will struggle to provide school uniforms and equipment to send their children back to school.

Parents and children have another battle where school infrastructures and buildings were destroyed because of events like wars and natural disasters, or simply occupied as refuges by the war victims.

For example, in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (in Rutshuru), the return to school for children has been disrupted this September as school buildings have been occupied by those who fled or displaced by wars.  This is let alone the lingering effects of the coronavirus and the cost-of-living crisis on educational systems in many countries, including in those places relating to our appeals.

These negative effects are even greater for children from poor places in developing countries (like of Africa) where educational opportunities have been denied to many of them regardless of the current global cost-of-living crisis.

So, during this September we will be working on this back-to-relief initiative to explore ways of keeping education alive for these unfortunate children living in those parts of Africa in crisis.  Through this initiative, we will help get education and learning back on track for these children.

For further details about this initiative, please contact CENFACS.

 

  Back to the Upkeep of the Nature this September 2022

 

September is also the month we resume our advocacy work on the upkeep of the nature.  Normally, this advocacy starts from the protection and care of animals in Africa from illegal killings, extinction and poaching.  In the last week of September 2022, we shall focus on saving endangered bird species through our new initiative called ‘Mbulu’. 

‘Mbulu’ (that is; Mobilising for Birds’ Useful Life for Us) is a new advocacy project planned by CENFACS to help protect critically endangered bird species in Africa.  Birds like African Grey Parrots, Congo Peafowl, African Green Broadhill, etc. are endangered species.  The ‘Mbulu’ project, which has already kicked off, will help us to advocate for a safe life for birds.

Another initiative featuring this September 2022 is our advocacy on lands which will be conducted under the theme of “Green Spaces“.  Green Spaces take stock of the advocacy on waters which we worked on since September 2019.

In September 2019, we worked on the Protection of the Oceans (particularly the waters surrounding Africa and the rivers and lakes in Africa).  In September 2020, we carried on with the advocacy on waters through the theme of “Blue Spaces”.  In September 2021, we had a 3-week work on sea level rise as notes for the “Blue Spaces”.

This September, we shall have three weeks and five days of advocacy work on safe, inclusive and accessible green spaces.  The notes for this advocacy which are on “Green Spaces” started from the 5th of September 2022.

To conclude the month, we will have some e-discussions on circular economy.

Briefly, Back to the Upkeep of the Nature this September 2022 will include the “Mbulu” advocacy project, access to natural spaces with the theme of “Green Spaces” and an e-discussion on circular economy.

 

• • Back to Advisory Support this September 2022

 

As above mentioned, Advice is CENFACS’ main theme for September.  We provide advice to both individuals and organisations.

 

 

• • • Advice Service for Individuals

 

Some of you are aware that most of CENFACS services in the UK are designed to support multi-dimensional poor children, young people and families (CYPFs).  After the summer break, many of them will come back to start their life again.  From September onward, they will go back to school for CYPs and to work and training for parents and guardians. 

They may need or ask for support to restart or look for occupational opportunity or even just resume their routine activity in September.  Their needs could include the following:

 

∝ Finding a new school or a nursery for children

∝ Registration to health services

∝ Finding accommodation or relocating

∝ Accessing training opportunity or employment

∝ Looking for a new occupation to deal with the economic effects of the cost-of-living crisis

∝ Finding help to adjust their life after Summer break or any period of inactivity

∝ Looking for direction to overcome the cost-of-living crisis 

Etc.

 

We can provide advisory support to them. Where our capacity is limited, we can refer and/or signpost them to relevant specialist services and organisations to help them meet their needs.

We do it under CENFACS’ Capacity Advice Service which was established since 2003 (through CENFACS’ Capacity Advice and Development project for Croydon’s African and Minority Ethnic People) to help individuals gain various types of help.

 

The types of help we provide include:

 

✔ Translation (English to French and vice versa)

✔ Interpreting

✔ Generalist advice

✔ Guidance

✔ Signposting

✔ Referral

✔ Advocacy

Etc.

 

As we are in a digital era, we adapted the provision of the above listed help while still retaining its essence.  Last year, we introduced leaves in this service to make it Leaves-based Advice Service.

You can contact CENFACS for the range of issues included in this service and to find out if your problem can be dealt with.

Regarding Translation service, we would like to remind everybody that the 30th of September 2022 is the International Translation Day.  For those who need a translation service, they can contact us on the day for translation.  But they need to let us know at least three days before so that we can include their request in our plan.

 

 

• • • Advice Service for Organisations 

 

The same advice service applies to overseas and Africa-based Sister Organisations. 

Under our international advice service, we can advise them on the following matters:

 

✔ Capacity building and development

✔ Project planning and development

✔ Poverty reduction within the context of Africa Continental Free Trade Area

✔ Not-for-profit investment and development

✔ Absorption capacity development

✔ Fundraising and grant-seeking leads

✔ Income generation and streams

✔ Sustainable development

✔ Monitoring and evaluation

Etc. 

 

Again, where our capacity to advise is limited, we can refer and or signpost them to relevant international services and organisations. This advisory support for Africa-based Sister Organisations is throughout the year and constituent part of our work with them.  However, they can take advantage of our advice-giving month to seek further advice on any of the above matters.

To access advice services, please contact CENFACS.  To register for or enquire about advice services, go to www.cenfacs.org.uk/services-activities.

 

 

• • Back to the Upkeep of the Nature with the Theme of “Green Spaces”

  

The following will help deal with this theme: theme statement and key notes covering this theme.

 

• • • Theme statement 

 

The theme of “Green Spaces” under the back to the upkeep of the nature (which is part of our back-to-relief programme) is about making safe, inclusive and accessible green spaces to those in need; while using these spaces to help reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development.  There are two aspects in this statement. 

The first aspect of this statement is about access for all to green spaces.  The second aspect of this statement is what we called green poverty reduction and green sustainable development.

In labelling poverty reduction and sustainable development green, we are trying to look at the extent to which the “Green Spaces” together with the green economy are helping people in Africa and elsewhere to alleviate or escape from poverty.   This is what one can call “green poverty reduction “.

We are as well revisiting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (1), particularly Goal 11 and target 7 of this goal, by re-exploring the role and place that the “Green Spaces” are playing in capacitating poor people’s sustainable development.  This is what one can term as “green sustainable development “.

 

• • • Four key notes to work on Green Spaces

 

To materialise what we have said above, we have planned four key notes or topics (as shown on the above figure relating to green space theme) which include:

1) The impacts of Green Spaces on Health and Well-being

2) Green Spaces and Socio-economic Inequalities

3) Green Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development

4) Interaction between Green Spaces and Blue Spaces in the Process of Poverty Reduction

The notes or topics will be the vehicle by which we shall illustrate the central theme or message of Green Spaces.   Through these notes, we hope users in their journey with us to undergo change in the long term in the way they approach Green Spaces.

Let’s now summarise the first note or topic of our September 2022 work on Green Spaces; note which started from 05 September 2022.

 

 

• • Green Spaces-focused Note for Week beginning 05/09/2022: The impacts of Green Spaces on Health and Well-being

 

Before looking at this impact, let us first understand Green Spaces.

 

• • • Basic understanding of Green Spaces

 

According to Greenspace Scotland (2), greenspace is

“Any vegetated land or water within an urban area; this includes:

  • parks, gardens, playing fields, children’s play areas, woods and other natural areas, grassed areas, cemeteries and allotments
  • green corridors like paths, disused railway lines, rivers and canals
  • derelict, vacant and contaminated land which has the potential to be transformed”.

Greenspace Scotland also argues that Greenspaces are often multi-functional and are used in many different ways.

Although we have given the definition of Green Spaces, this first note is not about writing theories about Green Spaces; theories that one can easily find within the literature review about them.  The above-mentioned definition is mostly a working tool to enable us to approach the theme of Green Spaces.

This note is about what Green Spaces can do for people, particularly for those in need like some of the members of CENFACS Community.  For example, through this note and the work with the community we can try to answer the following questions:

Are our community members using enough Green Spaces to help them reduce poverty and enhance the quality of their life?

Are Green Spaces safe, inclusive and accessible for them?

Are Green Spaces adversely or beneficially impacting their health and well-being?  In other words, are Green Spaces are contributing to our users’ realisation of life satisfaction via six predictors that explain happiness and healthiness?  These predictors are income, social support, healthy life expectancy, generosity, freedom to choose and trust.

 

To be able to answer these questions, it could be better to assess the Impacts of Green Spaces on Health and Well-being.

 

• • • The Impact assessment of Green Spaces on health and well-being

 

Without elaborating too much on theories of impact assessment, let us refer to what the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) argues about impact assessment.  In its impact analysis, the OECD differentiates ex ante impact analysis from ex post impact assessment.  OECD (3) contends that

“An impact assessment, which is a theory-based activity, focuses on the effects of the intervention”.

In the context of this first note, our focus will be on the effects of Green Spaces on the poor.  One way to look at these effects could be through the opportunities that Green Spaces can create for them.

To explain these opportunities, ASEFEdu of ‘medium.com’ (4) argues that

“Open and green spaces offer opportunities to advance wellbeing and a sense of personal satisfaction for all individuals living in urban areas.  Improving our physical and mental wellbeing, fortifying our networks, and causing our urban areas and neighbourhoods to become progressively alluring spots to live in and work are some of the advantages”.

Because of the number of opportunities that Green Spaces offered, there could be a need to increase their number and quality to match needs.  It is not a surprise if the United Nations (5) argue that

“Increasing the number and quality of green spaces has the potential to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants that produce a strong global warming effect and contribute significantly to more than 7 million premature air-pollution related deaths annually”.

There is more to argue and prove about impacts of Green Spaces in Africa and elsewhere.  However, what we are interested here is how these spaces impact the health and well-being of our community members.  We are as well interested in the experience that our members had with Green Spaces in terms of poverty reduction and sustainable development.

Through these interests, this note helps us to identify areas of unmet needs within our community and generate projects or activities to help satisfy those unmet needs.  This note will also help us to work together with the community on safe, inclusive and accessible Green Spaces.

For those of our members who would like to work with us on how they can integrate Green Spaces in their life, they are welcome to work with us. 

For those members whose Green Spaces are part of their life and would like to share their experience of them in terms of safety, inclusivity and accessibility; they are also invited to share it with us.

For those who would like to further discuss with us any other matters relating to Green Spaces, they should not hesitate to contact CENFACS.
