01 · Empowerment
Community-led fundraising
We engage in professional fundraising locally and internationally, through government, generous companies and foundations in developed countries.
Innovations
A vision to mobilise our communities to take part in government programmes of socio-economic transformation, patriotism and peace.
Our approach
IFAMI is continuously seeking creative solutions to the challenges facing our communities. That means enterprise, skills, advocacy and partnerships — not aid alone.
How we innovate
Five commitments
The principles behind every project we choose to start.
02 · Sustainability
Projects that keep going
We pursue projects that sustain accommodation and provide the commodities needed for human development, long after the first grant.
03 · Integrity
Honesty in every activity
We uphold the highest standards of honesty and ethical conduct, and we expect the same from every partner and volunteer.
04 · Capacity
Building the organisation
We are strengthening our organisational capacity and building a sustainable funding model so the work is not dependent on one donor.
05 · Encouragement
Young people leading
We want young people to be free, self-supporting leaders of the next generation and of their own families.
