30+ Active & Successful Projects
Every project is conceived by someone in the local community. We call these people Impresarios. All we do is facilitate and give momentum.
20,000+ Hours of Project Consultation
The fruit of our work is a product of the quality of the relationships our Field Workers have with Impresarios. From attentive listening and collaboration comes beauty.
“You just have to take the time to meet the people who are never heard. See this is one of the problems with the world… They have the answers, nobody listens though. So we just try to listen.”
—John Heers, Founder & Director
