Why does this matter?
The work of this organisation is a great example of successful cooperative efforts between multinational contributors. The organisation’s work is important because they utilise the talents of volunteers to support a self-replicating model of leadership in the communities where they operate. Much like the other organisations featured, they share responsibility for success of their programmes with their beneficiaries and incorporate them in programme development. This sense of accountability and self-led leadership helps boost confidence in the local level.
