Historically in humanitarian aid and international development, communities haven’t had much choice in the type of aid they’re given. The Lead program is OneVillage Partners’ latest effort to even more directly enable communities to address their challenges from multi-dimensional poverty.

2021 is off to an exciting and busy start in OneVillage Partners partner communities! This year, seven communities will see their community projects completed, including a school, two clinics, and a skills training center; four communities will begin construction this month.

At the onset of the pandemic, it became apparent that activities with our flagship programs would need to be put on hold. But that didn’t mean we couldn’t still lean into our values and work with our community partners in other ways.
