At Start Local, we believe that local organizations should be leading crisis response and long-term recovery. Whether you’re a local NGO, an international organization, a donor, or a business or individual looking to give, we work with you to create practical, sustainable partnerships that put local leadership at the Centre.

Local NGOs Lead the response

INGOs Shift the power
