Community Support
Strengthening communities by connecting people with resources and support, especially in times of need, so that no one is left behind.
Why this matters
Strong communities look after one another. When people are connected and able to act together, support reaches those who need it most.
Through this program area, Rising Beyond Borders aims to help vulnerable communities access essential resources and support, and to build the connections that help them stay resilient over time.
What we focus on
- Essential support for people in times of need
- Responding to the priorities communities identify for themselves
- Inclusion, so that no one is left on the margins
- Connection between people, groups and the support around them
