Our goal is to reach 1,111 people in 2021. Our aim is to ensure they don’t slip back into extreme poverty.

If 139 generous people come forward before the end of the year, you can be our partner in making a difference.

Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 8th.

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

IYHA believes success – and sustainability – come from working with communities to develop and support local leaders. While many organizations depend on an influx of foreign workers and investment, we know that communities want to create value and improve their own circumstances – we help them start that journey.

Education

Education is critical for interrupting the cycle of poverty, IYHA facilitates vocational and formal educations for motivated youth and adults. Through several complementary programs, IYHA furthers education through activities including educational scholarship dispersal, professional and personal development trainings, and the facilitation of real-world experience through internships and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Entrepreneurship

IYHA stimulates economic self-sufficiency through several programs that provide “hand-‐up” assistance for families to develop their own revenue streams; empower women with the tools required for economic success; and create opportunities for communities to sustainably support themselves through advanced farming practices.
