HOW WE HELP
Village Mosaix is not looking to replace government or non-government organisations in their effort to support these groups of people. Rather, we are hoping to bridge the gap between their services and each individual by providing the practical care and support that is sometimes lacking.
We have recognised that since the Covid pandemic started. Everyone is in need, in some way or another. Some people are feeling isolated. Others are feeling disconnected. Still others are struggling to pay bills and school fees. Anxious. Worried. Stressed out. Desperate. Village Mosaix wants to meet these challenges by providing different opportunities for people not just to receive help, but also to empower them to connect deeper with the community which they are a part of. Below are some of our initiatives in the community.
