Civil Society & Governance

Empowering individuals and communities to lead the way to positive, sustainable change

Vulnerable populations will remain vulnerable until they are empowered to be active citizens and become the movers and shakers in their communities.

In order to address challenges including dirty water, poverty, human trafficking, gender-based violence,  food security, climate change, and more, we work within communities to empower individuals to become catalysts for positive, sustainable change and build an engaged civil society.

This includes facilitating dialogue between communities, businesses, and governments.

Whether it’s through the establishment of our Village Water Committees, Village Development Committees, Community Early Childhood Development Committees, Indigenous Community Committees, or more, we are striving to empower vulnerable populations at the individual and community level to lead the positive change long after we are gone.
