Collaborative, supportive, and passionate organization to partner with!

Working as a Peace Corps Volunteer living in La Libertad, Peru, I met one of the staff members at Sayariy and we discussed potential areas for collaboration. I was working on community economic development programs and they were wanting to expand upon their economic empowerment initiatives in the communities. We decided to train a group on starting a community savings group. Sayariy provided a phenomenal level of support yet still allowed me the autonomy to develop and adapt the project as needed. After I finished my service and left Peru, I found out that they had continued with and expanded upon the savings groups and also implemented financial education courses with the groups. I've never met a more passionate and motivated group of people dedicated to working with the communities to determine their priorities. They use a strengths-based, appreciative approach that is unique in development work. It'd be hard to find a better group of humans to work with!
