Through co-operation with local partners with the requisite vision, knowledge, skills and commitment, HART-US strives to find appropriate aid solutions that are sensitive to local, cultural values and that aim to be replicable and sustainable in the long term.

 

HART-US is committed to channelling the maximum amount of funds possible to our partners abroad. We streamline our running costs by keeping no expatriate staff ‘on the ground’. Our local partners benefit from the dignity of choice of priorities, the authority of leadership in their own communities and the day-to-day management of projects, which are strengthened with HART-US resources, professional advice, training and support.

 

This policy enables HART-US to make a tangible difference in a cost-effective and sustainable way. We also seek to act as a catalyst for change, connecting potential projects with other networks of support if we do not have sufficient resources or if it is not appropriate for us to respond directly.
