Community Empowerment Network empowers rural communities in the Brazilian Amazon to become more self-reliant by:
-
Helping residents understand that they can solve their own problems
-
Strengthening the skills and resources they need to lead their communities and build sustainable livelihoods
-
Partnering with a wide range of organizations to remove obstacles, such as lack of energy or limited access to capital and markets, that could otherwise prevent their success
As result, communities and their residents are able to break the cycle of poverty and foster long-term, sustainable development. Learn More
