Mission Statement
Interweave identifies areas of extreme poverty in the US, and around the world, and intervenes to create, educate and mentor self-reliance groups. This intervention provides a participatory curriculum, micro-loan access and an operating model that empowers self-reliance groups and their members to achieve success in Education, Business, Home and Community. Interweave partners with local organizations to ensure that each group remains active, self-reliant, and expanding.
About This Cause
The Interweave model builds on the interrelationship of three key life areas - Business, Home and Community. When the strengths of these three spheres come together, every circle is made stronger through Education, and people achieve the social and economic self-reliance essential to growth. Successful businesses bring jobs, prosperity and growth to homes and communities. Healthy communities provide an environment of security, solutions, services and a solid customer base that make it possible for businesses and families to succeed. Stable homes provide reliable labor and civic support that sustain community and business. Education open the doors to opportunity and better careers. When businesses, communities, individuals and families work together, everyone thrives. Interweave's training is based on the revolutionary teaching method called FAMA (Facts, Association, Meaning and Action). FAMA is a hands-on teaching method that generates learning, group participation and action. Interweave’s Success! series includes an Education, Business and Home and Community curriculum– the curriculum includes: facilitator and participant manuals, flipcharts, and PowerPoints that enable participants to master and apply the concepts that will elevate their lives. Interweave staff select and train local, in-country, coaches in areas of extreme poverty. These coaches work through existing local networks – churches, schools, micro-finance institutions and non-governmental organizations - to organize, facilitate, educate and nurture independent neighborhood self-reliance groups. Using Interweave training and materials, these mutual-support groups become a powerful vehicle for participatory learning and action. Participants learn and work together to plan and implement efforts to improve education, business, home and community. 100% of all project specific donations go to the project identified. This has been possible through the generous contributions of our founder and CEO, Dean Curtis, volunteers and donations from individuals, businesses, churches and other non-profit organizations which helps cover our overhead costs. All unspecified gifts go directly to provide curriculum to groups in developing countries. A donation of $197 buys curriculum for 20 families. A donation of $20 purchases curriculum for a family. Interweave’s breakthrough business training approach – sometimes referred to as an “MBA for the Streets”- is uniquely designed for small businesses. With its simple and practical 6P’s of Business format, even those with limited education learn to succeed in business. This unique business training model has pushed micro-credit loan repayment rates to almost 100%. Micro-business owners learn how to manage their businesses better, save and increase profits. With greater earning capacity families stop relying on government or NGO handouts because they have become self-reliant. They have been given a way out of poverty.
