Our community partners are the local grassroots organizations we work with on sustainable development projects. We see our partnerships as mutually beneficial relationships. We believe the key to eradicating poverty is empowering community leaders who have sustainable, scalable solutions. Nourish partners with communities who lack the necessary funds and resources for development projects, but who have the entrepreneurial vision to eradicate poverty. Our role is not to act as a project manager, but as a catalyst to help accelerate change.
Each chapter finds and selects their community partner organization independently, with support and oversight from the National Office.
