-
Introducing innovative educational, support, and mentorship programs
-
Providing access to financial and training resources that will enable individuals to reach their full potential
-
Creating the foundation for our programming in Komenda and adapting the model based on the needs of other underprivileged communities
Our Unique Approach
The Komenda Project is unique because the driving force is creating long-term sustainable solutions to poverty alleviation. We believe that poverty alleviation starts with economic empowerment.
