Development Education
- SERVE believe that development education has a critical role to play in increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing,interdependent and unequal world in which we live.
- SERVE is committed to informing people, especially young people of the causes and realities of poverty with an explicit focus on developing countries.
- We are able to achieve this by:
Training volunteers to have both the strategies, techniques and capacity to make presentations in schools, colleges, parishes, communities and workplaces. SERVE estimate close to 8,000 annually benefit from these presentations.
School assemblies and workshops
Reaching teenagers through monthly feature in Face Up
