Mission Statement
Our Mission is to protect and promote the welfare of children and families in Mauritius as well as in the African continent through dissemination and advancement through actions.
How does Halley Movement works in Mauritius ?
Since it was created, Halley Movement has dealt with issues of child abuses, and has counselled parents on such matters. In many occasions, have testified in Courts, provides telephone counselling service, and face-to-face counselling where experts provide advice and information to parents.
Now, after more than 10 years of existence, the tactics and mode of operation of Halley Movement has evolved. The organisation is more receptive to the demand of groups and community leaders. Through workshops and training sessions, laymen are involved in our programs and are involved in multi-marketing whereby they in turn disseminate the values of the organisation.
Where we are ?
Halley Movement operates in Mauritius, Rodrigues Isl., Japan, Ethiopia, Togo and London. All the organisations that represent Halley Movement abroad work in concert with our objectives. Materials produced by Halley Movement are distributed to the network.
