Our mission
- To improve children’s nutrition, health, and overall early childhood development by empowering households as key influencers in the lives of their children.
- To provide a continuum of services to the most vulnerable peri-urban young women. We want to create sustainable solutions for these communities enabling them to ensure nutrition, women’s rights and economic growth.
Our vision is to become a non-profit organization offering services to vulnerable communities, empowering young women, supporting parents to reduce chronic malnutrition like stunting, and promoting early childhood development. The overarching aim is to impact poverty reduction, enabling future generations to reach their full potential.
The values that shape the way we design our programs are:
- Avoid direct aid: we believe that aid creates dependency and is counter-productive. Besides, a project based on aid is not sustainable as its effect will end when the project ends. Therefore, all our programs are designed in a way that the population becomes self-sufficient.
- Act preventively: We are dedicated to addressing the underlying causes of the issues we tackle before they arise, aiming to achieve greater impact with minimal costs. Taking preventive measures not only enhances results but also optimizes resource utilization, allowing us to maximize effectiveness with efficient investments.
- Work with communities: we believe that real change comes from the bottom and we are eager to see concrete results. So, we implement projects to connect the tools put in place by policymakers and researchers with the end-users.
