Empowering others begins with asking what it is that they need to succeed on their own. It does not involve taking over, nor does it create dependency, financial or otherwise.
True partnership is not lopsided. It is a reciprocal relationship and recognizes that everyone can give, and everyone can learn. We create these empowering partnerships with existing works of compassion and invite you to play a part.
They are selected based on their values, focus and potential for impact.
Your skills and expertise could be an exact match for the needs of a world-changing organization.

Tinita Mbega, Tanzania:
Runs a small, local group where single mothers are given work while a daycare enables their small children to learn at the same time. She has no website, no business plan, no funding, no systems in place. No one outside of a small circle has heard of her, but she is AMAZING at what she does and is respected in her community. She is requesting help in communications, systems development (spreadsheets) and child development training.
"Everyone gives, everyone learns and receives.
It is reciprocal, sustainable...it truly is 'fair trade' at a personal level!"
-- Alan Kearns, founder of Career Joy, Ottawa, Canada
