We use a fundamental approach when working in impoverished communities. Projects are the result of identifying the true leadership in each community and building a shared vision for the future of that community. Through honest and candid conversations, our development specialists identify and review the community's needs and work with the residents to decide what will be done. The project is desig
ned with the community as we work together to estimate costs, time, and expectations. Through generous donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, and government grants, we are able to complete the project. FWOP volunteer teams also help raise the funds needed to cover the project costs through their networks. Projects are chosen on the basis of their ability to build basic infrastructure (such as water, electric, roads, waste water treatment, etc.) The intent here is for total local control and sustainability.
