HOW YOUR CONTRIBUTION HELPS:

Large scale international-aid organizations tend to invest in top-down, macro-blanket-solutions that focus on the quantity of individuals served, instead of the quality or relevance of the services being delivered. Tremendous amounts of time, energy and money have been wasted on ineffective solutions that in the long run have further hindered the communities they were trying to help.

By using a grassroots, bottom-up approach, we not only allow members of the beneficiary community to serve as their own agents of change, but also ensure that the project being implemented serves the true needs of the community at hand, rather than what the West perceives that need to be.

Instead of being a voice for the voiceless, hand them the microphone.
