Livelihoods
Ideas that help people see new possibilities, build the skills and confidence to pursue them, and create livelihoods that strengthen their communities.
Our mission
More possibility.
Rooted in place.
We explore how ideas from elsewhere can help people create livelihoods, use resources more thoughtfully, and open new markets for local skills and cultural knowledge.
Begin with curiosity.
Work with context.
An idea can inspire across borders. Its usefulness depends on the people, materials, relationships, and conditions of the place where it takes shape.
Our mission is to make that relationship easier to understand and to help people practice turning inspiration into locally meaningful opportunity.
We value local knowledge as a starting point for innovation. The people closest to a place help define what matters, what is feasible, and what success should look like.
What we look for
Resources
Ideas that turn overlooked resources and capabilities into new possibilities, creating sustainable value while supporting a healthier environment.
Local knowledge
Ideas that create opportunities for local skills and cultural knowledge, helping communities sustain, share, and evolve their traditions on their own terms.
