How We Work.

We believe that poverty is mostly caused by human factors and systems that keep local people poor especially by depriving them of what is rightfully theirs. We also believe that if given the opportunity and necessary support local people can rise out of poverty and live a life of dignity. Therefore in our work to fight poverty we employ two main approaches-

The rights based approach to poverty eradication by training local community people to be empowered and conscious of their rights, be able to hold their leaders in government accountable and advocate for positive changes in their community.
The community self help approach which recruits local volunteers from the communities and equips them with training on community development(civil responsibility education, value re orientation,
