HOW WE WORK

AMAR recruits, supports and trains teams of local professionals and volunteers to provide services for their own communities.

​AMAR has developed a model that employs local people and sources goods locally with oversight from just 12 staff in our London-based Head Office. This approach not only uses money more efficiently but also builds local capacity and supports the local economy.

AMAR’s local staff are able to work with community leaders to develop
activities that are culturally sensitive and relevant to community needs, which therefore also gain widespread community acceptance.  

AMAR works closely with national and local governments, building the
commitment of governments to the provision of basic services, enhancing their capacity to deliver them and paving the way towards eventually transferring these services to government management and ownership.

AMAR targets all those in need but focuses particularly on women and
children within any community served, as these population groups are always the most deserving and hardest to reach. When focusing on assisting women, AMAR works to ensure they are both beneficiaries and service deliverers in their communities, contributing towards female empowerment at a local level. 

A healthy and educated population is better equipped to develop
economically and socially over the long term, in turn reducing dependence on international development aid and assistance.
