Our approach
Communities think and act for and by themselves.
Facilitators stimulate action through an approach called SALT
that appreciates strengths and fosters local ownership.
In order to achieve ownership, communities walk through a rigorous
action-learning cycle called the Community Life Competence Process.

Stories of transformation
A 'positive epidemic'
|
“We have done a lot after our mindset shift from being entirely dependent on agricultural extension officers for their interventions to believing that we have our experience and strengths that we can use to take charge of our issues/concerns as farmers... We improved in food production and diversification as well. Group members were sharing increased income at household levels and how this had improved their lives.”
Abednego Kitheka Mutungwa, Kenya. |
"We started from a pattern where everyone complained about what didn't work - and blamed the others. Now we know that we can improve, that we are all responsible and we do our best. My colleague said: "Instead of complaining about the darkness, it is better to switch on the light!" Without the presence of the facilitation team, we wouldn't have been able to do this."
Christophe Boeraeve, Belgium. |

When community members surprise the facilitators, the challenge is met!
At Jamog, in Himachal, India, facilitators Arun and Virender spent “a lot of time on dream building, asking each group its dream, not hurrying through.” The day after dream building and self-assessment, participants said that they decided to undergo screening tests for NCDs. They asked the facilitators to accompany them. “Arun did not take them seriously.” But when he got late, participants called him to ask where he was, and, when he arrived, he had the surprise to see that they had convinced others to come with them.
