Deki has a holistic approach to building resilience to poverty and the effects of climate change

Our Holistic Approach

At Deki, we believe that local communities are intrinsically capable and should be given the opportunity and tools to improve their own futures.

Our work is led by the needs of the local community, enabling communities themselves to be the agents of change by supporting them to work together to build better lives. Through building strong relationships with rural communities, our partners, and government agencies, we have developed a deeper understanding of the needs faced by communities.

We believe in long-term, self-sustaining change and prioritise local solutions to community development.

Deki’s dedicated impact team visits each village so we can better understand the needs and wishes of each community and how best to empower them to build a better future for themselves. By working together, we provide families with the tools and resources they need to become resilient and self-sufficient, breaking the cycle of poverty for good.

Across our projects we work to 13 Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to address global challenges and ensure a better future for all. At Deki, we work towards 13 of these goals, as they align closely with our mission to empower communities and create lasting change.

By embedding the SDGs in our projects, we ensure that our efforts contribute to a broader global movement, while making a tangible impact in the communities we empower. Each of our initiatives are designed to build resilience, reduce inequalities, and create opportunities for a better future.

For our Deki friends and supporters, supporting our projects means contributing to these globally recognised goals, and being part of a movement that’s changing lives and building stronger, more resilient communities. Together, we’re working towards a world where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Our multi-dimensional approach, focuses on four strategic programmes:
