Stronger together

Our vision is that our projects are implemented through urban-rural partnerships with remote marginalised communities - we would facilitate the funding of projects and the procurement of materials with the support of the urban community, while villagers would provide labour and other materials available on site. Each group would be as important as each other in ensuring the success of each project.

Whilst this was important for practical reasons, that of keeping costs low, we also wanted to avoid a hand-out mentality, and to ensure that our partners felt truly consulted in providing the most appropriate solution and shared in the sense of achievement and ownership over completed projects.
