1. Listening to Needs

· Initial Assessment: We begin by listening to the needs and aspirations of the individuals we aim to help. This involves one-on-one interviews to understand their specific challenges and proposed solutions.

· Empathy and Respect: By valuing their perspectives, we ensure that our interventions are relevant and respectful of their unique contexts and motivation.

  · Customized Support: Based on the initial assessment, we provide tailored means and knowledge to assist them in the realization of their aspiration. This includes educational materials, vocational training, and other resources specifically designed for their situation.

· Collaborative Planning: Each individual becomes a mini-project manager, playing an active role in planning their development pathway. This fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility.

· Continuous Learning: Throughout the process, we equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge through partnerships with specialized educational entities. These entities provide the expertise needed to address the unique needs of our target audience.

· Resource Provision: Altervitam ensures that the necessary resources, such as tools, materials, and financial support, are available to facilitate the implementation of their development plans.

  · Ongoing Follow-up: We offer a structured follow-up framework that includes regular check-ins, progress assessments, and adjustments to the plan as needed.

· Mentorship and Counseling: Continuous guidance, counsel, and encouragement are provided to help individuals stay motivated and overcome challenges.

  · Mini-Project Managers: By treating each individual as a mini-project manager, we empower them to take charge of their development. This approach promotes self-reliance and long-term sustainability.

· Learning and Innovation: Through the successes and errors found in each project, we gain valuable insights into the types of development that vulnerable people are really looking for. We learn what motivates them for change, identify the real levers for change in a specific context, and discover the best approaches to bring about change in the lives of the most vulnerable. These projects become "small experimental labs," providing critical feedback that can inform and improve future development initiatives, making them more efficient and pertinent.
