Our vision is to establish a Therapeutic Transitional Home for children living in the streets of Malawi, with reintegration with families being the main goal, if safe to do so. Every child deserves a safe, loving, emotionally connected home where their Human Rights are guaranteed. Our mission is to rescue children living on the streets of Malawi, providing them with a loving home and all their childhood necessities. Through Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), a therapeutic parenting model, children will heal from their trauma and abuse while regaining their childhoods. Reintegration is our main goal if it is safe for the child; this will be done by supporting and empowering families to care for their children. If reintegration is not possible, the children will remain in the home until they are young adults to complete their education, heal their trauma, and become upstanding citizens of Malawi.

We strive to contribute to a world where urban and rural communities take responsible care of their environment, work consciously to conserve and protect natural resources in sustainable ways, and preserve historical assets and heritage for the benefit of future generations. Our mission is three-pronged. Conservation: Create significant and sustainable environmental change, specifically focusing on climate change, water conservation, food security, waste recycling, sustainable energy, preservation of endangered fauna and flora and greening projects that incorporate poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihoods. Education: Increase capacity and expertise of the southern African environment community, by transferring skills, providing mentorship and building supportive networks for the development and sustainability of the environment sector. Innovation: Use modern technology (e.g. GIS) capacity to enhance conservation efforts and to pioneer socio-ecological approaches to protected area management.

SODAC's mission is to advocate for the human rights of vulnerable community members to advocate for, exercise, claim and preserve their rights through child protection, livelihoods improvement, climate change and environmental management, health and water and sanitation. The core activities by SODAC include: economic empowerment of youths and women, conservation agriculture, climate change management, integrated natural resource management, community nutrition and health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), species conservation and building capacity of communities in their respective human rights. Additionally, SODAC implements programmes that advocate for promotion of crop diversification, promotion of livestock production and multiplication, small-scale irrigation and winter cropping, promotion of sustainable agricultural technologies, promotion of value addition and processing technologies, facilitation of formation of associations and cooperatives, mainstreaming of CODID 19, HIV and AIDS and gender and implementing Disaster Risk Mitigation Projects. Currently, SODAC is reaching out to over 11,500 households in Malawi. SODAC's activities are in line with several international and national policy documents and agreements such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS), the National Plan of Action for Vulnerable Children in Malawi, Malawi's National Food and Nutrition Security Policy, National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA), National Food and Nutrition Policy as well as national and international gender and human rights documents. SODAC has established good networking and collaborative partnership with Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Department of Nutrition HIV and AIDS (DNHA), Ministry of Gender, Ministry of Industry and Trade and District Assemblies, and several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). With funding contributions from individual board of trustees, SODAC is currently implementing a COVID 19 prevention and control project in 20 selected primary schools in Blantyre and Chikwawa districts through: distribution of face masks, hand sanitizers, soap and hand-washing buckets; provision of trainings to learners in effective hand-washing, and other COVID 19 containment measures; and training of learners in growing of medicinal plants (e.g. moringa, aloe vera, ginger, garlic, etc) that are essential in reducing the threats to the lives of people with underlying health conditions (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, etc). For the past years, SODAC has been facilitating the implementation of development work throughout the Southern Region of Malawi. Starting with advocacy project in the conservation of endangered plant and animal species, a youth and women's economic empowerment programme through Conservation Agriculture in its food security projects, SODAC has expanded over the years to support programmes for community livelihoods and natural resources management. SODAC has also implemented programmes on education, HIV and AIDS and democracy and human rights. Currently, SODAC is carrying out environment and natural resource management, climate change mitigation, nutrition, food security, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), human rights programs in rural areas of Balaka, Blantyre, Chiradzulu, Mwanza (Southern Region), Dowa and Ntchisi (Central Region) and Karonga (Northern Region) Districts. There are high prospects of expanding these projects to surrounding districts of Zomba, Neno, Ntcheu, Mulanje, Chikhwawa, Mchinji and Mzimba. Food security (increasing crop and livestock production) has been the major component in all livelihood programmes promoting an integrated approach to rural development. Specific food security projects include livestock development, improved crop production technologies such as Conservation Agriculture (CA) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects. Currently we are targeting 8,000 households in total for food security and WASH projects. SODAC is also carrying out food security and livelihoods programs in rural areas of Blantyre and Balaka Districts. The food security and livelihoods project has successfully managed to increase number of farmers growing improved crop varieties and farmers adopting soil and water conservation technologies in Balaka and Phalombe Districts through provision of agricultural inputs and CA extensions services. However crop production and adoption of Soil and Water conservation technologies has not significantly improved because of short lifespan of the project. In all programmes, SODAC has enhanced peoples' capacities to increase food production through the use of locally available resources blended with advice and support from SODAC's technical team. All programmes promote popular participation among community members who form committees to plan and monitor the implementation of the various project activities to achieve sustainability. Significant impacts among communities living in SODAC's programme catchment areas to date include; Increased community's capacity to demand for their right to development Improved food security through crop and livestock production, dietary diversification and income diversification. Increased household income through winter cropping initiatives. Reduced vulnerability to shocks in certain periods of the year, especially for women and orphans as a result of increased food availability at household level Increased capacities for communities in managing loan revolving funds for agricultural production
