MissionTo integrate education, healthcare, agriculture, and economic opportunity at the community level in developing countries with the goal that projects become self-sustainable, and a source for future local business and community leaders. VisionWe define a project as successful in its “sustainability” not just when it meets the needs for which it was created, but when it’s no longer heavily dependent on outside funds. In every community Solace has worked with, sustainability starts with building a foundation of mutual trust and respect through involving local leaders in the planning, and emphasizing economic opportunity. The building blocks of this foundation are programs in education, vocational training, mentoring, and small business development. Together, these provide opportunity for individuals to reach greater potential, and for the community to grow stronger. We hope those involved gain the skills and experience to become the next generation of social and business leaders. |
