Earth is shared by billions of people, fauna, and flora. Everything is Connected by water, a vital element that flows through all living organisms.
People are dependent on each other, and requires a mindful consciousness to Co-exist with all. This obligation maintains an ecological balance for a sustainable future.
Relationships require varying degrees of Communication at all times. To remain relevant is to continually transform thoughts and ideas, or become extinct.
It is a human right to live in a fair, just, healthy and safe world where all peoples can participate fully in all spheres of life. Equal access to health, education and the economy provides dignity which will embrace peace and respect for each other and for our natural environment.
TimiaAfrica exists to address the social injustices of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) that our societies have experienced, resulting in a more fair and just environment in which all natural life forms can live and participate, without fear of harm, reprisal, removal, or danger of any kind.
“Everyone is equal before the law and has the rights to equal protection and benefit of the law.” (SA Bill of Rights)
Many perspectives of equality exist, including that everyone should have access to the same opportunities, but this is not limited to education, employment and health. Every human being and natural resource has inherent qualities, value and worth that requires respect and protection.
Our differences go beyond a person’s gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, class or immigration status, which does not make their existence any different from anyone else. Understanding and exploring another’s difference should be non-judgemental and tolerant.
This first step requires introspection of how we view ourselves before we view the other. Diversity is necessary and exists in every living entity. Diversity should not be misunderstood or overlooked.
Privilege and exclusivity promote differences that's presented in a variety of misleading ways, which gives priority to a few.
By respecting and embracing others who are seen as less equal, privileged or innately different encourages us to co-exist without judgment. This requires courage that promotes the personal growth and development, while those who are now included will experience personal dignity, value, belonging and agency.
