Our Mission
We exist to provide tools, support and networks that enable change-makers in a given locale to create, operationalize, and successfully lead their own collective to achieve the aims they set for themselves and their communities.
Guiding Principles
Financial & Social Sustainability
We consider only those solutions as worthy of pursuing when they hold good potential to self-sustain and self-scale beyond the pilot demonstrations.
We examine why charity has failed, what new models of philanthropy are needed and why the participation of the constituents whose problem we are tackling is critical for any solution to self-scale from in 3 implementations to 300 to 3000 ... without needing charity, NGO or government support. Only then can a solution be transformative.
Leveraging Potential
Archimedes' allegory of leveraging (achieve more with less) is most instructive in discerning what types of "resources" will serve as levers and what types of "places" will enable us all to go from pilot projects to self-scalable transformation everywhere.
We critically examine the opportunities where there is a big potential of resource leveraging; the resources comprising of a) financing of the projects we undertake b) project goals, design, scope, c) efforts by all parties involved.
As for the allegorical 'right place" to place the levers, we selectively partner with those stakeholders proximal to the problem and solution space, as well as their priorities, capacity, and shared values in working with us for transformative solutions. Together we become the allegorical ‘Archimedes’.
Working Together
A collective is only as good as how its members work well together with commitment to the mission, values, code of conduct, and guiding principles set by the organization. Our team agrees to abide by the CREDO.
We believe all global citizens can play a role in addressing our most world's most persistent challenges.
