The causes of poverty and social injustice are complex, so we use a 3-pillar approach to create integrated solutions and address interrelated challenges at their roots.

HUMAN CENTERED

We develop solutions based on understanding first.

To achieve success, we work hand-in-hand with the people and communities we serve to create tailored solutions to their needs. Because people’s needs change depending on different social, political, environmental and economic contexts, our program designs are iterative, allowing us to consistently improve or adapt our solutions over time.

MARKET-DRIVEN

We believe in the force of business for good.

Our solutions work to amplify the sphere of where finance meets social impact. Abiding by the saying, “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime,” we work with youth and individuals to discover the intersection of where their passions, talents and available resources meet consumer demand in the marketplace.

RESULTS FOCUSED

Measurable results give us actionable insight.

Measurement and evaluation are crucial steps to ensure our programs produce success results. Relevant and high-quality evaluations allow us to track the results, effectiveness and impact of our pilots and programs and also help explain why programs are succeeding or failing. These results can then help us adapt, improve and scale our programming.
