Partnering to build a path out of poverty.
Since 2006, we have partnered with poor rural villages in Myanmar to improve the lives of more than 15,000 people. Our holistic, six-year partnerships build thriving communities through sustainable programs in health, education, leadership, women’s empowerment, livelihood, and infrastructure.
In 2023, we launched our village development model in 3 communities in Zambia.
