Helping Families in Rural Villages Thrive

Over the past 25 years, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people living in isolated villages experience hope, healing, and life transformation through our holistic, evidence-based programs.

 The Village Approach

Our model looks at a village as a whole, working with the local leaders and churches to uncover their assets as well as their greatest challenges. Our process heavily involves indigenous leadership in assessing the village and providing solutions. Together, we transform impoverished villages into healthy, sustainable communities.

Our Process

The best way to help an individual is by focusing on the needs of their village as a whole. Our transformation process involves three key phases:

1. Assess

Assess the village’s needs, resources, and vulnerabilities.

2. Implement

Implement a strategy to meet the unique needs of the village.

3. Evaluate

Monitor the progress and impact to ensure long-term success.

Measuring Outcomes. Driving Transformation.

Locally Powered

To achieve our ultimate goal of village transformation, we need clear metrics and data on what’s happening on the ground and in the field.

To that end, our team has developed The Global Dashboard, a sophisticated digital platform that allows us to synthesize real-time data from the field so we can ensure program effectiveness and efficiency.

 

What Makes Us Different?

  • We believe that sustainable work is locally-led. Our local teams identify and implement holistic solutions to address the most pressing needs in a community.

  • We serve people in the most isolated, hard-to-reach places where no other organization is able or willing to go.

  • Each village project is tracked monthly to monitor progress. Once sustainability is reached, annual reviews are completed for three years to ensure transformational progress continues.

  • Our work considers the longterm well-being of entire families within the villages we serve. We have found that serving families collectively creates the most sustainable impact for each individual.
