CHOICE Humanitarian is a leadership organization that works in remote villages around the world. Strong local leadership means communities can develop their own vision, goals, and plan to work their way out of extreme poverty.
With 35 years of experience working to end poverty in Kenya, Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nepal, Ecuador, and Peru, CHOICE partners with rural communities where most villagers live on less than $1.90 a day. The Leadership Model of Development is holistic, integrating five core areas: economic development, health, education, environment, and culture preservation. Teaching core values of love, tolerance, generosity, humility, and gratitude to leaders and villagers provides an essential foundation for success.
CHOICE has learned how to combine the most effective elements of both grassroots and top-down approaches to bring about effective, sustainable change. Villages identify and manage their own development process and drive the initiatives that will resolve the problems they face. Projects are a vehicle to organize communities and resources, creating lasting change as communities establish their path towards self-reliance. Native in-country staff uses culturally appropriate programs to develop the capacity of local leaders and empower villagers through our “learn by doing” model. CHOICE multiplies its impact by identifying similar minded local and international partners to support programs. Data collection and evaluation drive our efforts to ensure long term success. Ultimately, CHOICE knows that economic opportunities provide an exit strategy from poverty, and education is a game changer in economic development.
