About Our Projects

Our projects are constantly changing because our primary focus lies in building the capacity of communities to produce creative solutions to the complex challenges of an ever-changing world. By fostering the development of innovators capable of solving their own problems and equipping them with the skills to train others, our efforts promote a ripple effect. Communities shift from an outward focus, to an inward one as they become the source of their own solutions. We become obsolete in the process furthering our goal of dignity, not dependence.
