Our relational approach builds off of their existing social and spiritual capital to provide unconditional life-saving assistance and to promote deeply contextualized transformational development while upholding human dignity. Through trusted relationships, we work towards a vision of wholeness and human flourishing that is free of poverty and oppression. We believe that together, we can revive and thrive !
