We believe in taking a holistic approach for overall development and empowerment of any community since social, economic and environmental factors are interlinked. Instead of specializing in one area such as education, health, livelihood, resource management or skill development our approach is to prioritize interventions on a need and impact basis by first engaging with the community, then partnering with non-profit organizations, universities, and/or corporations that have the expertise and work in collaboration with them and the community.
Our focus is on women and youth as their empowerment can bring about sustainable change in their community.
Mission
To facilitate empowerment of poor and marginalized communities through partnership, technology and innovation.
Vision
To be a platform for change and work towards a society where all citizens have equal access to social and economic opportunities leading to an empowered, enlightened and dignified life.
Our ‘Adopt a Community’ model
We work on a collaborative, partnership model to ‘Adopt a Community’ and work holistically on overall development of a community by first doing a need assessment by meeting the community to understand their problems, identify areas where they need help and prioritize them.
This is an iterative process and involves multiple meetings with local community and its leaders, interviews, academic research. We then look for partnerships with organizations or corporations that specialize in the areas identified and work on a customized program for our community. In parallel, we build a team of young social changers who become Adopters of this community and create a plan to support and empower their adopted community. In this way we create young global socially responsible leaders creating significant impact and changing the world community by community!
