To strengthen the capacities of high poverty profile communities to address socio-economic and spatial inequalities.

PASCaP was conceptualised in 1989 in response to the overwhelming effects of poverty on the lives of children in South Africa's apartheid townships. Unemployment, alcoholism, child abuse and gangsterism were some of the debilitating problems confronting children and family life. The primary groups targeted for skills and resources development are women, youth and the unemployed. Development partnerships are initiated and maintained with communities, schools, private institutions, government and non-profit organisations.
