Community Development

Community Development is not about giving jobs, it’s about identifying root problems to poverty, domestic violence and juvenile delinquency and empowering people with the skills to bring about change in their own communities. We do it through social enterprises and micro businesses !

Micro-businesses aid victims of domestic violence by providing jobs, work-skill training & rehabilitation in a safe environment. This model create opportunities for victims to attain financial independence and fit into society.

  • Life skill training & work opportunities: RADION provides training and employment in management, accounting and computer skills to survivors of domestic abuse & villagers in poverty. RADION staff is also trained to provide basic counseling and medical assistance to those in need.
  • Self-sustaining business model: Through micro-businesses such as an internet café & laundry service – this integrated community empowerment centre generates income independently to help cover other cost concurrence for providing better infrastructure and networks.
  • Developing social entrepreneurs: RADION provides opportunities for its staff to develop other creative micro-enterprises in which they can have co-ownership. Each enterprise creates 1–2 more jobs. One such enterprise born out of this program is the Mushroom Farm; the income from this project now provides more women who come from domestic abused background with employment opportunities and experience to gain financial independence.
