The Challenges are numerous and deeply connected

We promote trust-based partnerships that centre local expertise, and support grassroots innovation. We acknowledge, and work with, local expertise; promote women's leadership; respect priorities of communities; and work towards their aspirations in a way that ensures the relevance of the programmes and increases chances of community buy-in and sustainability—beyond project cycles.

We provide longer-term grants to women’s NGOs and grassroots organizations in the Global South spanning four to eight years in order to allow the organisations sufficient time to work on issues that are most relevant to them, strengthen institutional capacity and to build meaningful engagement with community members, other CSO and government actors.

Our Approach

Our work is focused on catalysing Community-led Change.

To sustain all empowerment gains that our collaborations yield.

To empower all actors and influence more decision-makers and 'purse string holders' to #shiftthepower.

To share power with our global south grantees (women's rights organisations and their communities).

The first 3 years of the SiSTER Programme

Women in underserved communities are have increased their household incomes, up to 3-fold. From an initial 6 village groups growing their community savings and loans associations (CSLA) and food banks, there are now more than 100 village groups forming and strengthening their CSLAs and microenterpises.

Why Trust Connective Paths with Your Support?

Because all funds generaeted goes where it matters most — to the people creating change in their own communities.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or expensive projects designed from afar. Instead, we partner with trusted local organisations who understand their communities, their challenges, and what truly works.

Local leadership means better results.

When communities design their own solutions, programmes are more relevant, more effective, and more likely to last long after the funding ends.

We focus on lasting impact, not quick fixes.

Your support helps:

• Increase incomes for families

• Empower women and young people to know and claim their rights

• Strengthen local organisations so they can continue their work independently

We take our partnerships seriously.

• We work with carefully selected grassroots partners

• We provide long-term support and close follow-up

• We prioritise transparency, learning, and accountability

Every euro you give helps build stronger communities that can shape their own future.

Because real change doesn’t come from outside — it grows from within.
