How we work
|
Principles
|
|
Work in the gap
|
We assist communities not adequately served by large-scale traditional governmental and non-governmental organizations, who are often limited by bureaucratic and political constraints.
|
|
Build partnerships
|
We build long-term relationships with local indigenous health providers and community leaders that enable us to develop in-depth understanding, long-term perspective, and mutual trust that are vital for lasting impact.
|
|
Sustainable
|
We emphasize the development of skills, knowledge, and local resources that are essential to build capacity and self-sufficiency.
|
|
Volunteer
|
We are primarily a volunteer organization, and have no office, vehicles, or other bulky infrastructure to support. 100% of donations are used to fund direct program costs.
