That is why we chose Meliora as the name for this venture. Derived from Latin, it means to advance to a more desirable, valuable and excellent state. Meliora’s vision is not only to restore and renew scrap material into creative and valuable products, but to also give jobless people new hope, enrich and help them and improve the quality of their lives. Our dream is that Meliora will grow much bigg
er so that more jobs and opportunities can be created for the outcast and forgotten. My heart breaks when I drive past a robot and see the tired face of an elderly man begging for food, money or a job. And I know that God’s heart does the same (James 2:14-18 & 1 John 3:16-18). Our desire is to not only give a fish to hungry people, but to teach them how to fish. The Meliora’s passion is to create and restore. It does not stop at beautiful cookies or restoring household items, but expands into the realm of restoring hope to people in need. Our dream is to help individuals to reach their dreams, whether it is going to their matric farewell, furthering their education or starting up their own business. These are some of our focus areas:
• Skills development
• Creating opportunities to generate finances
• Mentoring on goal setting and achievement
• Mentoring on saving and mobilizing finances towards reaching dreams
God took me out of nothing, renewed me, gave me hope, life, love, joy, strength and a future. He made me unique and beautiful (2 Cor 5:17). Help us make a change.
