BEFORE WE BEGIN: Assessment and design

Before 2012

With local leaders, we assess the community's needs and resources and plan projects to provide long-term solutions.

PHASE 1: Building the foundation

2012

During this phase, sponsorship and development opportunities begin.

PHASE 2: Evaluate and grow

2017

During this phase, we monitor the community’s progress and make adjustments to meet their goals. More community members become involved, lead projects and gain ownership of their success.

PHASE 3: Enhance sustainability

2022

During this phase, children and families enjoy improved living conditions as they prepare to become independent and continue the work you helped start.
