Our Vision
Building for Generations is a movement for Social Justice and Inclusion for persons who have been marginalized, particularly those with physical and intellectual challenges and their families.
Our Mission
We collaborate with communities to determine how best we can serve. We build appropriate facilities to meet the needs of the community and give them a presence. We enhance existing programs, and reduce physical and social barriers through community education, outreach, and advocacy. We develop sustainable programs and increase economic opportunities.
Our Philosophy
To build on the strengths of the community with local participation in assessing, planning, constructing and staffing. We are committed to the inclusion of people with special needs in the Millennium Development Goals of 2015. Our projects address these four goals in particular:
- (I) Alleviation of poverty (to reduce the number of people by 50% living on $1 a day or less)
- (II) Universal primary education
- (III) Improved lives for woman (heads of household)
- (VIII) Productive work for youth
Using a business model for fund-raising, our primary source of revenue comes from events, artisan craft sales, and the resale of donated items along with private donations. It is our intent not only to serve the underserved but to make our organization’s involvement a meaningful experience to all volunteers. Our goal is to scale up and have the greatest impact possible by 2015 and beyond.
