HOW WE WORK

Our global network of volunteers, nonprofits, corporations, foundations, and government agencies team collaboratively with village/community residents to help them implement their own innovative businesses, clinics, schools, roads, farms, clean water, alternative energy sources, waste management and the like.

Here's how it works:

Step 1:
Choose the continent where you want to create change. Review where Powered by Action is currently working to build self sufficient communities. Join existing campaigns or nominate a country or community you want to change. It’s your choice. Sponsors like you browse profiles of communities in need, and choose a place to sponsor. When they sponsor, using their credit cards, Powered by Action collects the funds and then awards them to one of our development partners worldwide.

Step 2:
Powered by Action’s development partners employs local entrepreneurs and residents to carryout the work. The development partners may provide training and other assistance to maximize local job creation.

Step 3:
In time, the campaign is complete with permanent village improvements. Impact information and other updates are posted on Powered by Action and emailed to sponsors.

Step 4:
When sponsors get the campaign impact information, they can sponsor a different campaign for the same village or for a new place while still receiving updates about all previously sponsored communities

Powered by Action employs a unique blueprint component strategy. The blueprint is effectively a ‘planned neighborhood” that addresses the economic and social needs of the village or community. Self-sufficiency and sustainability is the goal in all we undertake.
