COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Co-creating impactful solutions

with communities, for communities.

ROOTED IN DIGNITY.
BUILT ON STRENGTHS.

Beyond assessing needs, we work out of a conviction that every person has gifts and the capacity to contribute. With a human-centered approach, we work alongside partners to uncover strengths, deepen relationships, and spark collective action.

We operate using the principles of Asset-Based Community Development. On that front, each relationship carries with it a transformative potential where ‘beneficiaries become contributors’.

L!VE Intergenerational Innovation
Social Impact & Social Innovation

What started as a simple conversation grew into a movement to reimagine ageing through intergenerational innovation. Using an Asset-Based approach, we piloted 40 innovations with St Luke’s Eldercare and Lion Befrienders, along with 45 community partners across 200 sessions. Over two years, we engaged over 6,500 youth, adults, and seniors, unleashing the strengths of all generations to build a more connected and vibrant community.
