Learn MoreWe utilize a "lean experimentation" approach, applying the "innovation funnel" to guide the process. This involves identifying challenges, generating potential solutions, conducting experiments, piloting those that show promise, and amplifying impact through spin-offs and replication of effective solutions.
We utilize our strengths in rapid testing and data collection, ability to leverage diverse partnerships, and a high-risk appetite to experiment with solutions that have the potential to address social and environmental challenges.
We place the utmost importance on working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for, and with, underserved communities - typically living in remote, underdeveloped locations, often without regular access to basic services such as electricity, running water, education, and health care.
Currently, our focus centers on five areas of expertise, primarily concentrated within the Southeast Asia region, and specifically in Indonesia.
