Our Approach

Accelerating sustainable development through partnership and trust

World Connect's co-investment model aims to close the funding gap so that communities can grow and sustain independently. We take risks and invest directly in new leaders and new ideas. This is a more effective, cost-efficient, and impactful approach to development that starts inside communities and ripples outward.
