We are working to break the cycle of global poverty through advancements in education, healthcare, child welfare, and family infrastructure by helping people where they are. MRI is unique in its approach partnering with smaller, primarily indigenous nonprofits who have proven track records of making positive impacts in these key areas and that need increased support to further their accomplishments. Local nonprofits receive only 0.4% of all international humanitarian aid. Yet these organizations can be the most effective at addressing local issues, particularly in child welfare and family infrastructure. “A deeper understanding of the organizational dynamics of local, indigenous, community-based groups directly serving vulnerable families in the developing world is key to unleashing their potential.” They have vital expertise about these dynamics and how the poor cope day-to-day. MRI works to restore and/or establish financial strength in these partner organizations through grants and technical assistance providing the means for future sustainability and growth to maximize their impact.
