Deki has a holistic approach to building resilience to poverty and the effects of climate change

At Deki, we believe that local communities are intrinsically capable and should be given the opportunity to improve their own futures.

We empower local communities by giving them the tools they need to become resilient to poverty and the effects of climate change. We enable the communities themselves to be the agents of change by supporting them to work together to build better lives.

Our work is led by the needs of the local community, to ensure we make the most effective impact possible. Through building strong relationships with rural communities, our partners, and government agencies, we have developed a deeper understanding of the needs faced by communities.

Deki’s dedicated impact team visits each village so we can better understand the needs and wishes of each community and how best to empower them to build a better future for themselves. By working together, we provide families with the tools and resources they need to become resilient and self-sufficient, breaking the cycle of poverty for good.

We believe in long-term, self-sustaining change and prioritise local solutions to community development.
