“I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-40

 

Besides state-run welfare and social services programs, there are a few options that are similar in structure to WHOW™ Inc instead of competing with similar organizations; the Organization will collaborate with these programs to provide as many services as possible to its targeted audience.

Among these are large organizations such as the South Carolina Kids Count, South Carolina Parents Anonymous, Interfaith Community Services of South Carolina, and the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families. Yet these services are needed in greater numbers, and not one organization has such a large number of services in one location. Further, all of WHOW™ Inc services are completely free of charge.

Program and Service Description

Women Helping Other Women® WHOW™ focuses on helping women and families. The Organization has a variety of educational programs, events, retreats, spiritual workshops, referrals, and other virtual services. The Organization’s home-based location in Charleston, South Carolina and online on Facebook, which targets residents in South Carolina, Alabama, Cleveland, Ohio, and the vicinity around these areas.

WHOW™ offering a suite of services and programs.

 

The Organization’s services are designed for small or large groups, which meet in churches, private homes, offices, and hotel conference rooms, etc., with programs that last anywhere from 2-4 hours to 2-3 day workshops. The Future Youth Entrepreneur Academy is a nine-month program and the Beauty of Esther Spa Project is a six-week project. 

Sessions focus on various topics, non-profit collaborations, networking, including self-esteem, self-awareness, motivation, self-value, problem-solving skills, communication skills, conflict-resolution skills, and leadership abilities. All educational programs, workshops, and retreats are free for all participants.

WHOW™ agrees with the words from author Dr. Kurt Senske of Christian Approach to Organizational Leadership[1] when he says that “people at all levels of an organization, from the boardroom to the individual… are searching to connect their faith and values to their professional lives in a way that brings both personal fulfillment and organizational success.” Dr. Senske knows that what is lacking, however, is a framework or blueprint that provides guidance for taking the “whole self” to work.

Dr. Senske continues: “Christians often lack the framework and language that helps them put their faith-based principles into practice at the workplace. Despite their good intentions, a myriad of workplace pressures and daily obstacles prevent them from achieving this goal.” The Organization’s program services provides a framework to help these individuals take their “whole selves to work” by providing opportunities for-profit and non-profit organizations to support and help their communities by participating in various task forces that are listed under each program.

The Facilitators and Task Force Members of WHOW™ are experienced professionals and paraprofessionals with the skills and competencies that enable them to help with program services and designs. Each Lead Facilitator or Task Force Member has personal experience with the subject matter they are involved with.

This burnout can be avoided when family members learn about its cause and symptoms, how to recognize the problem, and ways they can change their environment to reduce stressful problems.

The WHOW!™ Family Management Project helps the family recognize the cause of mismanagement and facilitates proactively taking steps to solve their problems. Group Facilitators assist families and individuals with the development of skills for proper management of the family as well as how to reach out to community resources and talk with others in similar situations.

The Youth Future Entrepreneur Academy

WHOW-Youth

This program is built on the belief that all human beings are born with a natural talent given to them by God. The program is design to identify those talents and then to teach the person how to use them for the good of humankind. Some teen dropouts do not discover their talent until they have been sent to prison. WHOW!™’s program serves as an intervention from the incarceration of teen dropouts. It promotes hopes, dreams, and a productive future, and helps them to become productive, responsible citizens.

The Youth Future Entrepreneur Academy focuses on the talent of artists. The Organization helps them figure out a strategy and a plan to use their art talent. The program teaches entrepreneurship and boosts academic performance by giving young people the tools and confidence they need to connect their talents to their entrepreneur goals. They learn that turning their talents into a business takes a lot of discipline, hard work, and education.
