Why donate to The Constellation

N

We enable sustainable change

Our experience has taught us that our unique approach has a sustainable transformative effect on individuals, communities and organisations. Once our process is implemented the ownership is sustainable: once this is in place, it stays forever with just a bit of care.

N

We are a free, independant organization

When people join as members of The Constellation, they join as the person they are. Not as their function, their religion, their diploma, their country of origin.

N

We share our governance

to be more inclusive and offer equal opportunity to our membership. SALT is the way of working between members of our governing bodies.

N

We consciously limit our global footprint

We have adopted a green approach from the start, 16 years ago. It is in our veins! We aim for paperless work and free resources; we have no office (we rather talk online and meet when we can at our colleagues home with a shared meal for our long working days); we support facilitators mainly via distance support.

N

We have very limited operating costs

simply because we chose not to have any offices. Our budget, coming from our partnerships and private donations is mainly used to cover fees for members who contribute at part time to the functioning of the organisation and to implementing our mission.

N

We engage with very diverse groups and communities around the world

Since 2005, The Constellation has successfully facilitated local responses in more than 50 countries and through over 100 partnerships with governments, international and national organisations but also small groups.

Faulu Productions is a community-based organisation based in the Kakuma refugee camp in northwestern Kenya (team in the picture). The Faulu team intends to eradicate early pregnancy and forced marriage observed in most camp-based communities. The team reached out to The Constellation to take part in the Go Girl programme where the SALT-CLCP methodology supports girls and people around them in finding solutions and establishing behaviour change so that their health and safety are improved.
