Holistic Community Development

One of The 410 Bridge’s core tenets is to identify, develop and partner with local indigenous community leadership.

We learned quickly that we can only be as effective as the leaders we work with.   Another core principle is to “enable the self-developing capabilities of the people we serve.”  In order to do that, we’re careful not to do for Kenyan communities what they can do for themselves.

Said another way… we measure our success not by what we do, but by what they do for themselves. That, in our view, is true development.

This strategy extends through the deployment of the 5 impact areas for every community.

• Water
• Education
• Health Care
• Micro-Enterprise
• Spiritual Development
