What Makes Interweave Solutions Different?

Interweave enables participants and grassroots organizations in developing countries to achieve self reliance by bringing together a blend of social and economic tools and insights that aren’t typically combined. While other programs use some of these individual tools, Interweave offers a uniquely effective model that integrates social and economic practices and capital. Building on the best of for-profit and the non-profit perspectives, Interweave’s Self Reliance Program fosters individual and group advancement through success in business, home and community.

Working with a variety of local organizations - micro-finance institutions, humanitarian agencies, churches and local neighborhood associations, the Interweave Self Reliance Program enables participants to start and expand successful businesses and as families and community groups, to gain capacity to plan, unite and solve shared problems. Local neighborhoods generate economic and social capital to move beyond poverty on a self-sustaining basis.

This unprecedented combination of approaches and stakeholders – world class business skills, local initiative, self-sustaining neighborhood associations, social businesses, family-improvement plans, community action projects, micro-loans, business mentoring and 6P business training – generates solutions that truly enable people and communities to stand on their own.
