Community Health, Upliftment, and Wellness Initiative (CHUWI)

On the back of all of the services listed above, we have seen that our offering was incomplete. It’s good to work on repairing the damage that was caused in our communities but to minimize the impact of violence (crime, social, domestic, or gang-related) more needs to be done.

Very few people, especially in lower-income areas, have any knowledge, training or experience to care for injuries and trauma related to the violence they experience. This is why FROTS aims to support this healing and recovery process. But more can, and needs to be done.

This is where CHUWI comes in.

CHUWI combines efforts from skilled service providers, FROTS volunteers and support from local, social and business community to set up and facilitate information workshops. These workshops are aimed at providing a subsidized training interventions for people that equip them to remedy medical and social and wellness shortfalls.

FIRST AID (health)

In many instances lives can be saved by the simplest interventions and the most basic knowledge about how to prevent a situation from getting worse. This kind of information is passed on during CHUWI workshops and include:

• Stop the bleed for residence
• Infant care
• managing fever in babies
• Recovery position for unconscious patients. Etc.

UPLIFTMENT

The lack of social wellness comes from a lack of understanding in people’s minds. The FROTS team in collaboration with the BBW will promote an understanding of appropriate social behavior and reasonable social expectations. We strive to highlight the unacceptable impact of substance abuse, domestic and gender-based violence and gang-related activities.

With a changed perspective, community members will be enabled to be proactive in identifying social ills. By promoting social cohesion with ideals like social, and cultural tolerances and ubuntu we develop communities in support of good governance.

CHUWI endorses ideals like righteous governance, social fairness and equality for all people. Embracing the concept of Ubuntu makes more stable communities. These basic but essential value systems stem from Biblical principles and are at the center of the SMDN ethos.

WELLNESS

The FROTS team is already addressing the damage that is caused when social injustice results in property damage, injury or death. The ideal lies in preventing this kind of damage injury or death. So many instances of domestic, or social violence can be prevented by sound conflict management guidelines. By promoting awareness of social wellness, we can start to curb many of the hurt and damage that come out of poor social skills.

It is much better to prevent social and domestic differences before they pose the risk of escalating to criminal action.
