We are a small, innovative and independent community development organisation based in Australia. We partner with local community partners around the world to empower women and girls, improve education and health outcomes and defend human rights. We invest in building the power and capacity of local organisations.
This has been developed through much consultation with significant stakeholders, including our partnership coordinators, our advisors, our Board and our staff.
It sets what we see as an ambitious agenda to expand and deepen our impact and clearly lays out the outcomes we are working for. We will measure our success across three dimensions – communities leading their development; improvements in individual & community wellbeing and broader societal and systems change to address structural inequalities and discrimination.
And as with everything indigo, the first thing we offer is respect.
We hope you enjoy the read!
