Background
A mere thought that evolved into a constant natter amongst a group of concerned Addu
youths was the beginning of TakeCare. With the desire to change, fueled by a dream of a
better tomorrow, TakeCare was registered under the 2003 Association Act of Ministry
of Home Affairs as a nongovernmental organization in October 2008.
Introduction:
TakeCare is a Non Governmental Organization working for the socio-economic development
of Addu. As an NGO, we focus to achieve the following main objectives by means of collaboration,
coordination, and networking with relevant government institutions associations and other authorities,
in addition to advocacy and lobbying. Currently we have over 100 registered members at TakeCare.
Our belief is that change should come within, and we shall not blame another for our inadequacies,
without us playing our part first. All our aims and activities would be based upon the doctrine of
caring. Caring about places neglected, virtues tarnished, and individuals who are not so fortunate
to live a happy life.
Our vision:
Build a caring society in Addu where people live in harmony with their environment and care for
each other, by enhancing unity among all, empowering youths, working for the development
of children, safeguarding our environment, reviving traditional handicraft works, and
preserving heritages sites.
Our Aims:
At take care all our activities would be centered upon achieving five main aims based on
strengthening five main key areas of life. They are the people, youth, children, environment
and tradition. Our aims are 1. Enhancing social cohesion within our society.
2. Empowering youths and eradicating drug abuse.
3. Protecting and promoting human rights.
4. Safeguarding our environment.
5. Revving traditional handicraft works and preserving heritage sites.
6. Raising awareness among the people on various social and economic issues.
