HCI +

We carry out our work with the help of our local partner network, institutions, and the nation’s leadership.

Local Partner Network
Our partners demonstrate excellent financial reporting, deep knowledge of programming, and sound governance and oversight. While maintaining complete participation, oversight, and control of our projects through M & E, we work with partners who possess local expertise and know-how.
Conducting Needs Assessments
We participate with our partners to conduct needs assessments and ensure community participation. Building strong communities requires buy-in and willingness from the people we serve. The most effective solution requires the input and direction of local communities to ensure successful design and implementation of programs.
Finding The Right Solutions
Based on the needs assessment and input from the community and stakeholders, we begin providing resources for the solutions that best help solve the issue at hand and align with the United Nation’s SDG goals. Our objective is always to empower individuals and communities to stand on their feet.
Implementation And Oversight
We travel to the field, communicate regularly and monitor activities of the projects to ensure all objectives of the project are being met. We ensure our partners provide detailed financial reporting on an interim basis and when the project is complete. That way, we can answer your questions and confidently report on the impact of your donation.
