Community Involvement
After we have determined a pressing need in a community, we design action steps that involve the communities we serve at every stage. Because we serve communities that lack the most basic infrastructure, our work usually involves building.
We work with health and/or educational professionals and community leaders to determine the specific and distinct purposes of a structure, and work with an engineer and architect to develop building plans.
Because materials are quite expensive and often difficult to procure, we provide whatever concrete, cinder blocks, tinder, hardware, roofing materials, steel beams, electrical conduit, and plumbing materials is necessary.
We provide site managers who organize implementation of all stages of the action plan, and supervise workers during the building process.
We provide hand tools and equipment.
Then. . .
Volunteers from the communities we serve do the rest.
