Alabaster International Network
At Alabaster International, partnerships are the cornerstone of our mission to empower marginalized communities and create sustainable, lasting change. Central to this mission is the Alabaster International Network—a carefully vetted and well-established matrix of local NGOs and partners in Kenya, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. This network enables us to co-create and co-implement transformative programs on the ground, ensuring they are culturally relevant and deeply impactful, centering local voices and desires.
Guiding Principles for Partnerships
Our partnerships are built on:
- Long-Term Commitment: Establishing enduring relationships with local partners, rooted in trust, mutual respect, and shared goals.
- Defined Goals and Shared Accountability: Working together to clearly define expectations and measure achievements.
- Transparency and Collaboration: Ensuring all stakeholders work openly and inclusively to achieve common objectives.
Our Partnership Approach Includes:
- Collaborating closely with strategic partners in priority regions;
- Addressing critical needs, such as education, health services, food security, and climate-resilient agriculture;
- Strengthening local organizations through capacity-building initiatives;
- Building meaningful relationships with community members to ensure solutions are sustainable and locally led;
- Partnering with government agencies, academic institutions, and funding organizations to advance innovation and achieve collective goals.
