Shanta’s approach begins with the establishment of long-term partnerships that recognize the assets both the village and Shanta bring to the table. Over the course of six-years, entire communities transform from leaning heavily on Shanta for financial support and expertise, to holding the light and leading the way on their own path out of poverty.
