The people whose lives are directly affected by hunger and poverty are not seen as a problem – rather, they play the key role in identifying, planning and implementing sustainable solutions. With their creativity, skills, resources and decision-making power, they themselves develop and redesign their lives.
Women as Key Actors
Women are usually responsible for ensuring their families’ food security, but they rarely receive the necessary resources and freedoms. Our priority is to empower women politically, socially, and financially, so that entire communities benefit: families become more resilient and healthier, children receive better educational opportunities, while productivity and income increase.
Strengthening Self-Reliance – Unleashing Potential
We promote the self-reliance of affected people on the ground by strengthening their abilities, leadership skills, and self-confi-dence through targeted training. Trained local development facilitators pass this knowledge on, motivate other villagers, and thereby spark a movement powered by their own initiative.
Collaborative Partnership with Local Authorities
We involve local authorities in shaping development processes, so that changes have a long-lasting and sustainable impact. To sustainably strengthen local structures, we advocate for necessary legal changes at the national level.
With their creativity, their potential and their own resources, local people play a key role in overcoming chronic hunger. For this reason, the work in developing countries is led and carried out only by compatriots.
