we STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY-LED SOLUTIONS

Our Mission

CHOICE Humanitarian is an international nonprofit that strengthens community-led solutions to rural poverty. We support rural communities through locally-led projects that address critical needs like clean water, nutritious food, education, health, and income.

We do this by strengthening community voice, ability, and access—creating lasting improvements in quality of life.

OUR THEORY

Our Theory of Change explains how community-led action leads to lasting progress. It outlines the principles and pathways that guide our work with rural communities

OUR APPROACH

OUR VALUES

These 7 values form the foundation of what we stand for.

COLLABORATIVE
We collaborate with academia, business and corporate partners, foundations, community leaders, and local governments to ensure sufficient resources to meet great challenges and achieve shared goals.
PROBLEM-DRIVEN AND SOLUTION-FOCUSED
We listen and respond to our partners’ felt needs with collectively developed solutions to complex social and economic problems.
UNIFYING
We celebrate diversity and cultural uniqueness by bridging divides through meaningful exchanges among peoples from vastly different socio-economic backgrounds.
INNOVATIVE
We work with local partners to develop strategies and programs that help isolated, rural communities participate in the global economy by using technology more creatively.
TRANSPARENT
We measure results and impact, using evidence to adapt as needed, and actively share our learning through regular reports and engagement with others.
INCLUSIVE
We invite the full participation of all people, especially women, youth, and local leaders to address poverty and inequality.
IMPACTFUL
CHOICE seeks return on investment that transforms lives, not merely touches them. We see people everywhere for their untapped potential, not merely as people needing help.

Where We Work

We work in some of the most remote, underserved regions in 7 countries. Often, these are areas where other organizations can't or won't go. We believe every person deserves the chance for a path out poverty.
