Where We Work:

Early learning

Prior to launching IPI’s first project, IPI founder Charles Davidson first conducted participant observation to learn how other organizations were affecting change among vulnerable populations affected by conflict. This effort  especially focused on organizations working among children living on the street. Charles saw examples that inspired future IPI work as well as examples of approaches that were unsustainable or ineffective. This experience shaped the formation of IPI and informed IPI’s early emphasis on local leadership and self-sustaining financial models.
