- Democracy and community development
The action plan of The Touaghile Association for Development aims at meeting multi-faceted objectives. Firstly, creating and assisting the realisation of developmental projects. Secondly, promoting values of citizenship and civic education among children and youth of the community. Thirdly, sensitizing people to environment-related matters and taking action in handling them. In addition, it is noteworthy to mention that women and children issues are at the heart of the association's concerns.
The association's policy and principles imply prioritising its projects and activities. Therefore, special interest is given to community development, women and children support and improvement of underprivileged populations' plight. As a matter of fact, the association has achieved great progress in tackling illiteracy, especially among women and the elderly. It also has a kindergarten with qualified staff that takes care of children of the neighbouring districts. Moreover, and as a part of voluntary work, some association members and adherents are engaged in tutoring disadvantaged students from the local area. We should also mention that our association is giving workshops and trainings in the management of NGO's and community service skills to its members. Additionally, cultural activities, sport events and social aid are listed on our action plan as areas to work on.
