Strengthening communities abroad.
Our International & Global Initiatives program strengthens communities abroad through diaspora-led development, humanitarian support, and institutional capacity building — with a focus on East Africa and other fragile regions.
Diaspora communities have the power to shape the future of their homelands.
Three pillars of our global work
Diaspora-Led Development
Organizing and mobilizing diaspora communities to drive economic development and rebuild institutions in their countries of origin.
Humanitarian Support

Institutional Capacity Building
Strengthening local organizations, civic leadership, and governance structures so communities can sustain progress long-term.
