CORE INTERNATIONAL

Our Mission

CORE International focuses on developing partnerships and programs to address the self-identified needs of excluded people. We also work to build ‘bridges’ between groups of people, organizations, and individuals who are able to provide services and support. CORE has identified seven priorities for our development focus including: • Gender and Social Inclusion • Literacy, Education, and Participatory Learning and Action • Sustainable use of resources to improve the livelihoods of the poor • Primary Health Care • Micro-enterprise projects • Appropriate alternative technology and innovations • Indigenous Knowledge.

Although many of these priorities are linked, in our first year of operation we are focusing on literacy projects, which include addressing the issue of gender and social inclusion. We have prioritized working in Nepal or India for the immediate future, though we intend to expand to other countries as our organization gains experience and resources.
