The Southern African community is made up of states that are seized by a plethora of problems in the areas of democratic governance as well as the rule of law.
Southern Africa is characterized by growing inequality and discrimination against women, youth, and people with disabilities and sexual and gender minorities, in the face of progressive national, regional and international laws and human rights instruments.
The Southern African region faces many economic challenges that are adversely affecting its population. These include financial crises being experienced across the globe; increased unemployment for the region’s youth; rising inflation rates with almost all countries of the region recording double-digit inflation, pushing up the cost of living; the scramble for natural resources and land by developed countries, dispossessing local communities and stripping them off their livelihoods
CIASA believes that every child deserves clean water. Our community-based approach gives us deep roots in the community.
CIASA works with children, including the most vulnerable, help with access to quality education and attainment of functional levels of literacy, numeracy and essential life skills. When children can read, they can better advocate for their rights and help provide for their families..
