Allieviating poverty through sustainable community development
About Us
Alleviating poverty is a big order but it is possible if we work toward what was originally intended for life on this earth. No one action or idea will accomplish this. It requires an integrated approach that mimics nature as it was created. We begin the process with looking at the most basic needs of the poor and developing ways in which these needs may be met using the resources that already exist within a particular community and environment. The four most basic needs are food security, proper nutrition, disease prevention, and income generation. When these are met, the foundation is laid for productivity and abundance.

Environment & Sustainability
Sustainability is dependent on many factors in any area of the world and is the most important element for real change. Realizing the potential in any environment must be based on forward thinking and an understanding that creation has tremendous potential for regeneration. Preserving and restoring the environment to bring forth this potential must be at the forefront of our thinking.
