Life Works Foundation

To date, Lifeworks has supported SCAD in three key areas:

Community Empowerment:

Training SCAD staff in facilitation skills which has enabled them to run workshops with village women’s groups aimed at strengthening relationships and deepening understanding of others. Outcomes have seen fewer marriage breakdowns and the establishment of more co-operative business initiatives. The Psychology of Vision training programmes by Sue and Jeff, either individually or as a couple provides practical tools and techniques that have transformed relationships for good.

Environmental Solutions:

Lifeworks introduced SCAD to the deployment of Effective Micro-organisms for use in soil enrichment and household hygiene. SCAD now produces its’ own microbial products and puts them to use in over 160 villages in the region. Crop yields and quality are increasing year-on-year. Microbial cleaning agents are used in all SCAD facilities, reducing ground and water table pollution. The concept of Effective Microbes was first introduced to SCAD by Paul Manweiler.

Organisational Efficiency:

Lifeworks worked with the senior management at SCAD to establish and coach a leadership team to share responsibility for day-to-day management. This has enabled Founder Dr Cletus Babu to free up his time for new projects and initiatives aimed at helping more communities in Tamil Nadu. This included training and implementing performance measurement and metrics to assess the efficacy and areas of greatest impact by Mark Remington.
SCAD continues to be a primary partner for Lifeworks and our work together is now extending into finance solutions for NGOs.
