Inclusion is a special way of cooperation between people who share a direct personal commitment with ultra poor people. The foundation supports this unique cooperation.The initiative originated from a group of individuals with personal experience in development cooperation and a desire to improve existing strategies.

Inclusion approaches poverty eradication by developing innovative solutions that enable people of all walks and across economic, cultural, religious, linguistic and political divisions, to join in the struggle of the poor, by direct personal commitment.

Inclusion applies state-of-the-art technology and scientific research to make individuals work together effectively with a known group of poor persons. Still, the approach is designed to accommodate many people without compromising its principles.

We specifically design innovative methods to avoid common causes of development failure such as corruption, high overhead expenditure, inability to reach the target groups, and choosing the wrong goals due to a lack of influence by the poor themselves.

Inclusion doesn't focus on institutional change. We concentrate on empowering people, and therefore Inclusion is non-bureaucratic, non-profit, non-commercial, non-religious, and in principle non-political: we are not polarised and will not polarise. But wherever helpful, Inclusion welcomes partnerships with like-minded development organisations.
