Rooted Wisdom's Programs have

Real Impact

Our priority is knowledge and skills transfer – we are training trainers, but we also embed peer-to-peer and intergenerational learning to set these communities up for success. To that end, we are trying to work ourselves out of a job in these communities by creating sustainable financial independence for families and entire communities so we can then support others in turn.
