SAAHD prioritizes integrated approach focusing on the entire community rather than on one issue. SAAHD has found that problems and issues within a community are all interrelated and that we cannot solve one problem in isolation. SAAHD invests in people and their communities by training and inspiring them to create their own life-changing solutions through programs in education, agriculture, litera
cy, water, health and environmental protection. SAAHD listens to people, without predetermined ideas, to identify and address their needs, resulting in greater community involvement and long-lasting impact. SAAHD provides knowledge and training so people gain skills and self-assurance, then local leaders and organizations materialize and work together to carry on the work. This makes SAAHD programs very efficient and creates eternal change rather than a short-term fix. SAAHD operations are led by the president and CEO, who is ably assisted by a coordinating team composed of senior staff members.
