Individuals from all walks of life have risen to the challenge of the global pandemic and become bridgebuilders for their communities. Many have played a role in building cohesive, informed and resilient communities. United Purpose has worked closely with women leaders, traditional elders and community organisers to ensure that these positive changes are community-led and sustainable.
Mae unigolion o bob cefndir wedi ymateb i her y pandemig byd-eang ac wedi adeiladu pontydd ar gyfer eu cymunedau. Mae llawer wedi bod yn rhan o’r gwaith o adeiladu cymunedau cydlynol, gwybodus a gwydn. Mae United Purpose wedi cydweithio’n agos ag arweinyddion benywaidd, hynafgwyr traddodiadol a threfnwyr cymunedol i sicrhau bod y newidiadau cadarnhaol hyn yn gynaliadwy ac yn cael eu harwain gan y gymuned.
