Primary focus is education of children with a special emphasis on girls
Clean water projects are included as they allow more children to attend school and provide for better health outcomes in children.
Our projects are always designed with first level negotiation with the primary stakeholders, the beneficiaries.
Our programs are designed to be long term within the defined geographic area of work. Usually this means for at least a 5 year term. We believe that our beneficiaries should have confidence in our long term multiple program commitment.
We also preview project idea with other local ngo’s working with the same primary beneficiaries
We control funding of our projects
We design our projects with specific outcomes and constantly monitor those outcomes.
We develop feedback loops with the primary beneficiaries and revise our projects based on this feedback.
We design our projects to require appropriate beneficiary contributions. Sometimes this is represented by an investment of the beneficiary’s time such as English or computer classes. On other projects we require a small financial participation such as with the preschool.
