At Three Roots International, we
believe that everyone
deserves to have the access and resources 
​they need to 
LIVE, LEARN, and EARN so they can THRIVE. 
Our model is strategically designed to replace the cycle of generational loss, joblessness, and chronic illness with a cycle of restoration by focusing on strengthening education, health care, and livelihoods.
True sustainability is only possible when the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors within a community support its continued development. We are relentlessly focused on increasing community ownership throughout the life of a project so that community leaders can transition into full support of project activities.
LIVE
We deliver high quality health education, empowering community health trainers,
and giving direct medical care so that 
people can live long and healthy lives.
LEARN
We restore the opportunity for children and adults to learn through high quality 
early childhood, primary, secondary, 
and literacy education.
EARN
We equip men and women to earn a predictable income through business development, savings and 
vocational skills training.
THRIVE


We build the capacity of community leaders 
to maintain program initiatives with skill, knowledge, and integrity, so that communities can thrive for years to come.  
OUR MODEL

Community-led partnership for sustained growth.

Three Roots partners with the previously-established local church in the community to gather information about community needs and launch programs that are responsive and effective. We use a participatory approach where community leaders and members identify resources and assets that already exist, as well as critical needs. They also help create solutions that specifically meet the needs of the community.

Working alongside local community members, we equip them to strengthen existing structures and take ownership of their development. We aim to see communities thriving with knowledge, health, and economic capacity to sustain their future well-being.
