Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
WE IGNITE NATIONS (WIN) IS A CHRISTIAN HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES TO OVERCOME POVERTY AND INJUSTICE WITH SUSTAINABLE WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
EKKLESIA & EMPOWERMENT: THREE OF THE "BIG FIVE" FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POVERTY ARE APATHY, DEPENDENCY, AND DISHONESTY. THAT'S WHY WIN BEGINS WITH EKKLESIA - THE LOCAL CHURCH EQUIPPING COMMUNITIES WITH THE WIN FOUNDATION - A STRONG IDENTITY AND LIFE-GIVING BIBLICAL VALUES. THESE FOUNDATIONS ALLOW ALL, REGARDLESS OF FAITH OR CREED, TO MOVE FROM DEPENDENCY TO SUFFICIENCY, FROM APATHY TO INCENTIVE, AND FROM DISHONESTY TO TRUSTWORTHYNESS. THE RESULT IS A REAL TRANSFORMATION THAT LASTS AND MULTIPLIES! WIN IDENTIFIES COMMUNITIES WHICH ARE SUFFERING EXTREME POVERTY, ILLITERACY AND OTHER AREAS OF LACK, THEN EMPOWERS THE LOCAL PEOPLE TO BRING ABOUT RADICAL, LASTING IMPROVEMENTS.
EDUCATION: WE BRING EDUCATION TO NEEDY KIDS AND YOUTH IN MULTIPLE WAYS, INCLUDING SELF-SUSTAINING PRIMARY SCHOOLS, TUITION CENTERS, CHILDREN'S HOMES, EDUCATION SUPPORT ENABLING LOW INCOME FAMILIES TO ATTEND SCHOOL, AND VOCATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR UNDERPRIVILEDGED YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS.
EMANCIPATION: PREVENTING CHILDREM FROM EVER UNDERGOING THE HORRORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. PREVENTION IS FAR BETTER THAN WAITING UNTIL AFTER CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ABUSED. DRAMA IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO COMMUNICATE A POWERFUL MESSAGE INTO THE HEARTS OF SIMPLE RURAL PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. WIN'S DRAMA TEAM TRAVELS VILLAGE TO VILLAGE WARNING HOW TRAFFICKERS TRICK VILLAGERS WITH THE PRETEXT OF MARRYING THEIR DAUGHTERS TO RICH, UNKNOWN INDIVIDUALS IN BIG CITIES. SUCH "MARRIAGES" ARE ONLY A TRAP. THESE "BRIDES" FIND THEMSELVES IN BROTHELS. THE DRAMA TEAM ALSO TEACHES AGAINST OTHER MORAL EVILS SUCH AS ALCOHOLISM AND DOMESTIC ABUSE.
