Working
to alleviate poverty in the world's poorest communities
Sustainable development
The FIOH
Fund supports approaches that aim to alleviate poverty in a sustainable
way by focussing on projects which:
- are initiated by poor people through local non-government organisations
- incorporate a strong element of education and vocational training
- enhance the status and involvement of women in the development process
- create ecological awareness
An enabling and motivating approach
Our approach is based on a belief that development policies imposed
on a community, without proper consultation and the active involvement
of the people, can frequently compound their problems and create a climate
of dependency.
The FIOH Fund has helped to empower people in peace, conflict and natural
disaster situations to establish activities which are both economically
and environmentally sustainable in the long term.
The Fund has supported a wide variety of projects which reflect our
philosophy in urban slums, leprosy colonies and poor rural areas.
