“We put a prosperous project into the hands of the people it serves.”
-Heather Cumming, SSAAP Founder
Community Needs
SSAAP is a rural, village-based project; we do not work in African towns or cities. The rural areas of Africa are deeply neglected, while the towns and cities are targeted for much of the sustainable benefits provided by the NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations). Projects that the Embassies in Lusaka, Zambia and Freetown, Sierra Leone conduct for the betterment of Zambia and Sierra Leone help the towns and cities to thrive while usually neglecting the deep rural areas where starvation, lack of water and healthcare are the biggest threats to human life.
Community Contribution
Community Leadership
For a project to be sustainable and functional, the community must contribute to its upkeep and well-being so that it can continue to sustain itself and continue to serve the communities in-large that are in-need of its services. Community Contribution requires that the community give back to the project itself so that the project can sustain itself for the long-term and so the project is based on the knowledge of the community and local expertise.
SSAAP operates with pure intention: We put a prosperous project into the hands of the people it serves. SSAAP also applauds village leadership and committee formation for project development. Moreover, SSAAP provides empowerment to both men and women. Finally, SSAAP encourages connecting the villagers with people from other cultures.
