HOW WE WORK WITH COMMUNITIES
Our purpose, mission, and community-driven approach guides our work and ensures sustainable, locally-led development.
Our Purpose
To provide long-term, meaningful contributions towards sustainable development in the communities surrounding Lion Sands Game Reserve.
Our Mission
To support sustainable, locally-led development through participatory initiatives that empower communities to chart their own path toward positive change.
Our Approach
We believe communities possess the capabilities needed to lead their own development. As a registered non-profit organisation, we follow the Asset-Based Community Development model, working with communities as collaborators, not passive recipients.Through our exclusive partnership with Lion Sands Game Reserve, we focus specifically on sustainable development in the communities surrounding the reserve.
.
Our work is founded on mutual respect and reciprocity. Every initiative is co-created with local leadership and built toward self-sufficiency, with clear milestones for community management to take over. We support communities in charting their own path while maintaining accountability for sustainable impact.
