  • Asset-Building for Self-Sufficiency
    methodology: asset-building for self-sufficiency
    By providing sustained assistance and support for asset-building, we produce long-term self-sufficiency and improved living standards, because immediate relief alone is insufficient to break cycles of poverty.
