To change the mind-set of the populations to be self reliant especially in development related areas. Most third world nations have been dependent on foreign aid and their natives have always depended on hand outs. WSM aims at creating avenues to empower communities to become self reliant through viable self-help and income generating projects e.g. in Agriculture, Micro Finance and SACCOs.

Community and Development

Our values and vision guide WSM forward.
The end product of what should be created, supported, expanded is neighbourhood social capital. The examples above related to Public Safety, Education, Human Services, and Economic Development all point to the critical importance of good social capital to community development

To offer rescue and humanitarian services especially relief services to victims of conflicts and natural or accidental disasters. To these victims, WSM will offer moral support, counselling and guidance to those traumatized.

To facilitate Health and Community Development Programs. WSM will work towards supporting viable government programs that aim at community development. This will be more effective when WSM brings on board other willing development partners with a common goal to serving the less fortunate in our communities.

Promotion of human rights. WSM will promote advocacy services to support the marginalized, the vulnerable and the less fortunate in our society. This is in effort to create equality and a fair access to public services and equal distribution of wealth.

To improve sanitary conditions of populations in Africa by supplying public areas with clean water, better drainage systems and sanitary facilities. Most people who are less fortunate live in degraded conditions particularly in slum areas where you will find sanitary standards are very low or none at all. Here there’s lack of clean water supply and lack of proper water and waste drainage system and sanitary facilities like taps and toilet facilities. WSM will strive to improve these sanitary conditions.

To raise awareness, participate, initiate and support environmental matters. WSM will promote environmental management programs whose aim is to prevent pollutions and any other forms of degradation. Mobilize stronger and more ambitious climate action from all Parties and other actors, including civil society, the private sector, local communities and indigenous peoples (To raise awareness, participate, initiate and support environmental matters. WSM will promote environmental management programs whose aim is to prevent pollutions and any other forms of degradation, (”fight against climate change”).

Fighting against climate change. WSM is in agreement with the Kyoto protocol and the Paris agreement for the fight against climate change.

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, science tells us that we must limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, or a maximum of 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, which is also the central goal of the Paris Agreement.
To achieve this objective, relying solely on governmental action will not be sufficient. We, in WSM, have a role to play.

According to the UNFCC, we have already reached 1.1 degrees Celsius of global warming. We could reach 1.5 by 2030.
