METHODOLOGY OF TYPICAL PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN BY SMALL PROJECTS FOUNDATION

In the last twenty years, the Foundation has been fortunate to be involved in numerous community driven projects.  Through this involvement, we have built up considerable experience in what is a new approach to infrastructure and community development.  This has led to us offering the following training and services to communities in order that they achieve sustainability in their development.

We focus on five main elements with our beneficiaries in order to create a new knowledge and meaning with our beneficiaries, which will allow them and us to achieve development as a joint community of practice.

1.  Creating the Task Space (creating the space and time in which to share needs, values, constraints,

    thoughts, reflections and evaluate).

2.  Sharing the Tools (sharing the mental models, values physical resources, tools and local knowledge

    and reflections).

3.  Questioning and listening, role-playing and brain-storming (Creative Play), where we test options

     and actions together.

4.  Setting Goals (where we develop a plan).

5.  Putting into action (where we implement), followed by the iteration of the 5 steps again.
