GARD is a grassroots non-government organization dedicated to assisting others in developing countries through clean water and education programs. We believe these programs are best carried out in a joint effort between us and the people, and therefore community involvement is the foundation for its success.

It also provides the opportunity for our volunteers to interact with people on a personal level and to develop a better understanding of the needs and values of the area.

The organization directs the resources of its donors and partners by using the following key practices: 1. Identifying, creating and managing projects that match specific regional needs such as literacy, health, clean water, food systems and employment 2. Ensuring indigenous community ownership and delivery of all projects, while respecting local culture 3. Inculcating all initiatives with measurement, transparency, accountability, sustainability and exit strategies 4. Adherence to a core belief that systemic change takes place one person at a time and one community at a time.
