Around the world, an estimated 828 million people will go to sleep hungry tonight. Through sustainable agricultural training and improved access to resources like clean water, families can have reliable and sustainable sources of food all year round.
It is often the most vulnerable communities who are most at-risk of the impacts of climate change. Through Disaster Risk Reduction activities, communities can be ready to respond and recover when an emergency strikes.
A deep-rooted global issue like poverty requires comprehensive resolutions. Because poverty ties into other issues such as health, climate change and equality, an integrated approach is needed to ensure that vulnerable communities can be empowered to create lasting and enduring change.
Every day, women around the world are disproportionately affected by poverty, food insecurity, climate change, gender-based violence, as well as a lack of access to education, health care and employment. When women are empowered to live fulfilling lives, communities can thrive economically and socially.

We work in partnership with local communities on-the-ground, so that they can take control of their future and forge their own path out of poverty.
Our Strengths-Based Approach identifies and builds on the existing collective strengths of communities. This approach leads to more sustainable change, and allows everyone in the community to participate in building a better future together.
