Africa is a continent rich in resources, yet we are one of the highest recipients of International Aid. Unfortunately poverty is still rife. At Siya Sebenza, while we fervently believe in the precept, “Teach a man to fish…” we believe that poverty will not be alleviated until the worldview of individuals is addressed.

We believe that the following stipulations need to be countered in any country that is beset by poverty:

1. The Poverty Mindset – “I am poor, I will always be poor. I cannot change”
2. The Spirit of Entitlement – “I am owed…”
3. A lack of a “Standard of Excellence”

Consequently, we do not attempt to initiate any poverty alleviation project until we have addressed the Poverty Worldview by means of a core group of workshops that address the three points mentioned above as well as in-depth coaching as to how God expects us to work. To achieve this, we have established a WORK-4aLiving Centre that is made up of a training school, a Job Centre and a Business centre.
