Guidelines

Awet follows a series of guidelines in the way we work.  We do not discriminate in any way or shape.  We seek to help people so that they can help themselves.  As the old adage says, give a man fish and you will feed him for the rest of his life but teach a man to fish and he will feed himself for the rest of his life.  That is why we focus on community ownership of programs so that, communities can help themselves and not have to rely for long on external support.

Successful stories
