Keeping a long-term focus, we work toward a shift of paradigms so that, in the future, poverty will be a thing of the past.
how we work:
-
A community or group approaches us for help with its project. They take initiative.
-
While others may provide help, the local people take responsibility for the success of their project.
-
We ask people to focus on their vision for the community and the potential for making that vision a reality.
-
How can people be empowered to acquire the resources they need? The key is education.
-
We help people make connections to tap the latent resources in their own community.
-
Each person or community agrees to share what they learn with two others. One teaches two.
