We apply the following principles to our work every day. They are built into all aspects of our model and they shape how we interact with our communities. We believe that a critical driver of successful rural development is ensuring that men and women, boys and girls have equal access to critical opportunities and resources, and are full partners in the community development process. This includes such priorities as making sure that both husbands and wives sign promissory notes and receive land titles, and ensuring that women are occupying positions of community leadership.
