NISSII CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, INTEGRATED COMMUNITY PROJECT

Nissii Christian Academy is a child rights-focused organization that upholds well being of the children and conserves the environment to retain the dignity of the mother earth..we work closely with the community members, specifically women, youths, children and volunteers we further collaborate and work in liaison with the government agencies, local CBOs (Community based organizations)/NGOs and local faith-based organizations, as key stakeholders to enable meet both our short and long term objectives. Nissi Christian Academy is a nonprofit organization, found in Kisui Village along the shore of Lake Victoria where fishing activity is the key economic activities besides peasant farming and micro business activities. For along time children rights have been violated and many children are subjected to different form of child labour, early marriage, rape and defilement beatings and all frustrations. Many children are left orphans and vulnerable due to HIV/AIDS , insecurity (ethnicity division and classes) and other forms of illness attributed to poor and inadequate health facilities around. The situation is heart touching and goes beyond paper explanation. Come and feel !!!! Due to high poverty level around the environment has never been spared as it seen as key source of survival through cutting of fire wood and charcoal burning attributing to a high level of deforestation, lowering the dignity of the mother earth. Nissii Christian Academy has come in-front to safe guard the children and the environment.

Holistic Science

Western science is dominated by ‘reductionism’ – the idea that natural phenomena can be explained in terms of their component parts. Reductionism is incomplete, and can be counter-productive since it suggests that by analysing the ‘mechanical’ workings of nature we can fully predict and manipulate it. Holistic science recognises the limitations of this methodology, focusing instead on nature’s qualities, complexity and intrinsic value, giving a science fit to solve global challenges. Schumacher College in partnership with Plymouth University (link is external) is the first in the world to offer a postgraduate programme in Holistic Science. student on a holistic science courses What is Holistic Science? The programme explores new methodologies that are gaining success in exploring natural systems. These recognise that complex systems are dynamic processes realising their emergent properties as wholes – and that these properties are conditioned, but not determined, by the system’s constituent parts. The course provides methodologies that go beyond reductionism in understanding dynamic interactive systems, whether these are ecosystems, the weather, organisations, a plant or a developing human embryo. Students develop a holistic understanding of these systems and along the way learn to apply techniques such as computer modelling, intuitive perception and phenomenology. Of particular importance here is Goethe’s methodology as a way of meeting the whole through the parts. The programme advocates a participatory science of interactions, qualities, values and intuition, a science that is more capable of informing some of the key movements today, including environmental restoration, spiritual renewal and community regeneration. Holistic thinking is already revolutionising physics, earth system science, ecology, evolutionary biology, organisational development and health studies. It is generating increasing interest from scientists in many fields – especially
