Partnering for Empowerment
As well as funding and operating our own programs we are often called upon to share our experience and model developed over 30 years with other organizations and initiatives. Wellspring Karitas carries out and contributes to formational experiences, workshops and coaching to promote an awareness shift, foster community social skills and leadership development leveraging transformation of the causes of poverty in local communities. This can be seen as the best of all worlds; these are projects that already have funding, but they see the transformational effects of our model and methodology - in this way our impact goes many fold beyond what you can observe in our budget.
