WIN seeks to promote the economic development of partner communities by promoting income generating projects and not just handouts.
To achieve that aim, WIN seeks to build partnerships between local communities organizations and small and medium enterprises in developing countries with established enterprises in the Netherlands (Match Making)
At WIN, we believe that encouraging entrepreneurial initiatives and partnerships can have a more sustainable impact on the overall well-being of the community.
On the Netherlands side, we hope that the type of partnerships we foster can help Dutch enterprises achieve their stated aims in terms of corporate social responsibility.
It is in this line that WIN has been actively working with not only Government Funded Institutions but also the Private Sector in promoting Rural Farmers in Developing Countries in their transition from subsistence farming to more profitable business.
