How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Asset-Based Community Education for Self-Determination
    methodology: community_education_asset_based
    By using community-led education models like Alfasosyal that emphasize existing assets and social literacy, we foster pride and collective action because building on local strengths strengthens community ownership of development.
  • Community-Integrated Health Outreach via Lakou Networks
    methodology: lakou-based health outreach
    By anchoring health outreach and prevention at the lakou level and leveraging existing social institutions, we increase access and effectiveness because trust-based, decentralized models overcome structural barriers in rural Haiti.
  • Integrated Community Health and Development
    methodology: integrated_community_development
    By delivering healthcare, education, and economic development together within communities, we produce sustainable transformation because integrated services address root causes of poverty and health disparities in a mutually reinforcing way.
  • Women-Centered Economic Empowerment
    methodology: women-centered_economic_empowerment
    By focusing economic development on Haitian women, we transform gender dynamics and elevate social status because empowering women catalyzes broader community change through inclusive leadership and household-level impact.
