Our Projects
Neema International ensures that every child we help is helped ENTIRELY.
Unique Approach
Large scale international aid targets macro-blanket-solutions that focus on the number of individuals served, instead of the actual quality or relevance of the services they are delivering
Quality education, positive adult-child relationships, and adequate health and nutrition are essential to children's development. Neema International provides a multilateral, place-based intervention that meets these needs.
We are a place-based project, meaning that we take a multi-level approach to alleviating poverty in the community. Neema International designed Uru Academy to stop the cycle of poverty before it begins, by providing for babies as young as six months to children of ten years. By requiring the support of families, we focus our efforts on improving the child’s environment from every angle.
We economically empower the village through infrastructure, human capital development, and providing jobs.

The Digitruck

We want full fixes, not just minor improvements
We use a bottom up approach that responds directly to the needs identified by the community— by the individuals dealing with the problems on a day to day basis
Using this approach to poverty reduction ensures that money you contribute will be sustainably invested in the projects that directly help those who need it most in ways that have been proven to work on ground in THIS community, and not just what we think will work here because it works for us in the developed world.
The children in our programs will serve as leaders, able to continue the future alleviation of poverty in their village themselves.
