Our Values
What We Believe
World Connect envisions a future in which community insiders have the necessary power and resources to activate local development on their own terms.
Global peace, security, and stability is advanced by addressing poverty
Communities know their priorities and are best positioned to lead their own development
Co-investing with communities is a funding partnership that leads to better results, cost effectiveness, and sustainable progress
Local ownership of development and trust leads to greater accountability
Women, indigenous, and youth leadership drive greater economic and social benefits for the entire community
As power inside communities grows, impact compounds, rippling outward and driving a virtuous cycle of development

How We Work
Our Theory of Change
Historic models of global development did not include communities. Co-investing with communities to drive development on their terms leads to greater skill building, leadership, and mindset change, activating a virtuous cycle of development that sustainably improves health, education, environment, and economic opportunity.
