WHAT IS HIGH-IMPACT, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?
Community development efforts that support basic needs and increase the opportunity to change the lives of a significant number of people for an extended period of time at an efficient cost-per-person impacted.
All administrative costs are paid for by our committed Board of Directors. This means 100% of all donations go directly to our programs.
A GLOBAL REACH
Non-profits operating in the United States often work to resolve complex problems. They also have to account for the high cost of living and staffing. Organizations working overseas, on the other hand, often work to solve more basic problems that have inexpensive solutions. Solving these problems can make a tremendous difference for a great number of people at a fraction of the cost (check out our Core Values to better understand why we do what we do). Currently, we have program offices in the sub-Saharan African countries of Burkina Faso and Malawi.
OUR PROJECTS + OBJECTIVES
CLEAN WATER
INCREASING ACCESS TO EDUCATION
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
815 million people are undernourished around the world. In the rural communities with whom we partner, the local population is primarily subsistence farmers. Climate change and unreliable growing seasons have forced families to often make-do on one meal a day. This means that farming typically provides little in terms of economic opportunity. In 2018, we piloted a solar-powered irrigated community farm to allow farmers to harvest year-round, thereby increasing the annual incomes of everyone in the local area. We remain actively involved in this ongoing initiative.
