Your Money
Private gifts cover our operating costs so that 100% of your donation goes toward projects.
Proven Projects
We work, eat and stay with our projects and their impacts. We know the successes and what needs tweeking.
Strong Partnerships
We are small in the funds we raise and spend. But through our partnerships and volunteers, we create lasting change.
Caring During Corona
So what does an organization whose mandate is to “create partnerships for change” do during a lock down? Go online. Quickly.
Adjusting to the shutdowns and Openings in India
All of our work is about being present with the most marginalized persons, networking ideas and support that build community-based social enterprises and learning that helps people control their future.
In this time of physical distancing we are adapting – rapidly – to a constantly changing situation, and doing everything in our power to keep helping the most vulnerable and marginalized people. We’ve noticed that many other NGOs are in the same boat – and are attending global support exchanges – discussing issues and coming up with program ideas to try in our locale.
We are grateful to all our friends, donors, volunteers and fellow networkers who continue to support our work and make these adaptations possible.
