Our Approach

We utilize Health in Harmony’s Radical Listening model to establish the framework for community agency, leadership, and self-determination in a vision for the future.

We develop creative, culturally appropriate activities to engage women and youth.

We build bridges between indigenous communities, conservation organizations, and government entities across a region.

Depending on the main themes identified in the listening process, women and youth are engaged to collect data to better understand the environmental and social issues at hand.

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is shared, documented, and considered as a lead to any modern techniques.

We support indigenous-led visioning and strategic planning efforts in water + climate. In this stage, we also look for integrated partnerships in energy, regenerative agriculture, and WASH.

We provide small grants, technical assistance, and the capacity building necessary to implement Nature-based Solutions as outlined in the community’s vision.

This post-project step includes participatory monitoring and evaluation. It also includes green infrastructure maintenance training, and future climate adaptation strategies.
