SDRF + ODW

 

Organization Profile:

The mission of Sustainable Development Research Foundation (SDRF) is to bring about holistic transformation among poor, marginalized, and at-risk communities in Southeast Asia and beyond by empowering peoples at the grassroots level to improve their quality of life.  SDRF engages in “process” with the local community in order to learn their felt needs and to collaborate with them in addressing long-term, creative, and sustainable solutions to those needs.  They act as “brokers” of resources, knowledge, and connections that facilitate positive changes toward this goal.

ODW Partnership:

The Livelihood Project

Matching Grant: $10,000

The Livelihood Project centers on developing sustainable livelihoods for hundreds of HIV/AIDS-affected families in seven provinces in Southern Thailand where the prevalence of HIV disease is among the highest in Asia.

The Livelihood Project will support the training, equipping, and maintenance of tilapia ponds at the level of a community or a group of families. The families will then market and sell the fish to generate income and thus the resources to escape poverty.

In short, ODW's partnership with SDRF seeks to empower hundreds of HIV/AIDS affected families to lift themselves out of poverty.
