From their curly tails to their curious snouts, pigs are primo providers of agricultural aptitude. These li’l pinkers represent a cost-neutral source of fertilizer as well as an ever-fattening market value. Unlike the limited capacity and breakability of porcelain porcines, these piggy banks are too robust ever to go bust. They’re such committed partners, in fact, they say, “We, we, we,” all the way home.

SMALL BUSINESS
Microloans in Cambodia Results Prove the Program Works
Our team in Cambodia is facilitating some amazing successes with a loan project. Thirty-five participants applied for a loan of $100 each by submitting a business plan. Upon approval, the repayment schedule is six months. The effort of creating business plans and completing proposals is an amazing learning process all by itself. And then the organization had to open a bank account so each participant could manage their money themselves. This is a tremendous goal to achieve, as some had never before had a bank account of any kind.
With the Community Loan Project, the members plan to implement income-generating activities such as rice farming, growing vegetables, and raising chickens, pigs, and ducks.
The business and financial skills being harnessed will drive their success, and the pride of accomplishment felt through individual achievement is the best incentive to keep up the good work.

MULTI-PURPOSE LOAN $73
ITEM # 2139
Life can get complicated and expensive without warning. A community-managed, low-interest, multi-purpose loan provides families with a financial lifeline so they can get back on their feet.

When you provide even a little financial backing, you empower women, men, and parents to apply their skills, labor, and ingenuity to earn a living and build a career.

This financial head-start allows eager entrepreneurs to become small business owners, and put themselves on the road to success that otherwise might not be attainable.

LOCAL HEROES
The goal of facilitating community-led development is to bring people to a level of experience, organization, and empowerment where they have everything they need to independently continue the work they’ve started, and move forward with confidence to address their own needs and solve their own issues for generations to come.
It’s all in a day’s work for an Outreach facilitator.
Every member of our international staff has already changed the world through their dedication and brilliance. And they’ll do it again tomorrow.
There’s no easy way to do the job of an Outreach Facilitator. Communities are more than neighbors, and establishing trust among individuals who are accustomed to facing challenges alone is essential to building a sturdy framework for their shared success.
Outreach facilitators’ devotion to empowering the communities they serve is deeper than scheduling meetings, moderating discussions, encouraging teams, and advising local leaders during community-led projects.
Our facilitators and community members are an important part of each other’s lives, and the motivation to reach their respective goals goes both ways. Achieving meaningful, transformative community change requires both practitioners and participants to be animated by tenacity and love, in equal measure. Our facilitators, their communities, and everyone in the Outreach family each work together for the good of all.
We’re honored to have the opportunity to know each and every member of our program partner staff, and incredibly proud of the work they do every day to inspire and empower communities worldwide.
Learn more about our work and how it’s done at our website: outreach-international.org.

The High-Water Mark
The addition of a water well in a community is as life-changing as it is life-saving. Without a well nearby, community members must devote hours each day to collecting water from crowded, distant springs, which then needs to be boiled before it can be safely used. A reliable, local source of clean water eliminates the specter of water-borne disease, and makes drinking, cooking, and bathing refreshingly worry-free. Add a well, and watch the rising tide lift all boats — more time every day to earn income, do household chores, raise families, and drink in the results of a job well done.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING
A Guide on the Path Out of Poverty
Knowledge, skills, and attitude. These are essential elements of effective leadership, and central areas of focus in our leadership training courses. Our partners start by conducting a needs assessment to tailor the training to each community. By putting extra focus on individual abilities that need to be fortified, these new leaders are placed in the best position to guide their communities through their unique poverty-related issues.
In Zambia this past summer, forty members graduated from a leadership training course. Now, they’re directing their communities to organize, prioritize, and complete development projects. Over time they’ll work with less and less guidance from us, and eventually be able to work in total independence. This is our ultimate goal because we know we’ve done our job when we’re no longer needed.
We’re so honored to be working alongside these devoted, world-changing achievers. Make a donation and help us empower the next generation of community leaders.

What’s the most essential element of community-led development? Leadership! In order for real progress to be made, the whole community must come together, but nothing can get initialted without leaders. Leading the way means knowing the most, and the more people who know the particulars, the more we can do together.
