The Best Sign of Success
One of the strongest indicators that our projects are tracking towards success occurs when the community begins to organize and take up their own projects and next steps. This means that households are becoming resilient and achieving economic self-sufficiency. Once our program is concluded, we actively measure and track these collective goals as they are one of the strongest indicators of sustainability and household income improvement.
Creating Owners and Entrepreneurs
To date, our partners have launched 316 initiatives. That’s over 300 new programs, businesses, and cooperatives, all launched, owned and operated by our skilled and ambitious community partners. From agriculture to finance, from domestic purchases to new roads: our community partners understand what their villages need and make the most of the opportunity our partnership offers to take action and make tangible impact.
