About us
Work first, overheads second
Who we are, how we work and why this organization is set up the way it is.
Work first, overheads second
This organization does practical work in the places it operates, run by people from those communities rather than directed from elsewhere.
Accounts are published in full each year, including what proportion goes to running costs, because donors are entitled to see it.
