Step 1:
Identify an extreme poverty village in a rural area, using local knowledge and poverty maps.
Step 2:
Call a village meeting to explain our "village choice" model and offer a longterm partnership.
Step 3:
Listen as the community identifies its biggest development challenges and locally appropriate solutions.
Step 4:
Wait for the village's project committee to propose a project, write a budget, and raise the required cash contribution.
Step 5:
Raise additional financing for the project from individuals, schools, companies, and partner NGOs.
Step 6:
Deploy funds immediately, start the project, and share multimedia project updates with donors.
Step 7:
Complete the project (usually within one month after deploying funds) and mark the occasion with a ceremony.
Step 8:
Measure and share impact data with donors to evaluate how the project made a difference.
Step 9:
Monitor the project over time based on community feedback and multimedia updates.
Step 10:
Repeat steps 3 - 9 for 10 years, one project per year, as communities disrupt extreme poverty.
