Where the $ Goes

 

Committed to addressing “what’s needed” in ending hunger and transforming “foreign aid,” FeelGood has created a certification process that includes rigorous due-diligence to ensure that every dollar invested in our partners is being leveraged in the most effective way possible. As we grow, our hope is that our certification process can empower players in the field to adopt grass-roots, gender-focused, empowerment models of development.

CHOICE HUMANITARIAN

Mission: To build the capacity of rural villagers to cultivate and act on sustainable solutions to poverty by fostering village self-determination and international community building.
 
Where: Kenya, Nepal, Bolivia, Mexico and Guatemala
 
Program Overview: CHOICE works with motivated villages teaching communities to be self-developing. While working with CHOICE, villagers learn both leadership skills and successful approaches for working with their local governments, other NGOs, and each other.  Community led and chosen projects include school houses, water systems, or greenhouses, but these learn-by-doing construction projects are actually tools for teaching villagers the necessary skills for becoming self-developing.  CHOICE works closely with each village, but only on community-driven projects, since projects imposed by outsiders often fail.  This standard dramatically increases the efficacy of the training and the sustainability of the project or initiative. 
 
Impact: CHOICE Humanitarian’s Village Self-Development Model is at the core of a unique program which has impacted more than 150,000 people.  Villagers in 5 countries are improving their standard of living and pulling themselves out of extreme poverty, as their communities take part in a village-driven effort to improve their lives.
