The THP model is unique among NGOs
The Human Project's development model is unique among NGOs:
-
The Human Project designs, tests, and implements custom programs (Social Technology) that can be scaled and repeated in other communities.
-
The Human Project's principal focus is on maximizing educational outcomes by addressing cognitive and non-cognitive development in both school and home during the literacy period (ages 0-8).
-
The Human Project also develops Social Technology in entrepreneurship to assist communities in achieving economic sustainability.
-
The Human Project has a unique balance of financial support, receiving funding from state governments, institutional foundations, and foreign and domestic corporations and individuals.
Social Technology - ST
Developing each ST follows a similar path: The Human Project works directly with the Santa Luzia society to identify a need based on the community's daily reality and prepares a program to face that need. Following the preliminary research and design phase, The Human Project and the community work together to test, validate, and implement each ST. After being successfully implemented in Santa Luzia, THP reapplies the programs to other communities in similar situations. The process of designing and implementing an ST is a multi-year process. Such progress is not always a straight line, as even a successful program requires a sustaining effort and continual improvement, especially when applying in new localities.
THP's impact
Directly benefited more than 60,000 people and indirectly 180,000 people in more than 62 municipalities in 12 Brazilian states.
These are the THP Projects and Social Technologies supported by IPTI_US.
Together, The Human Project and IPTI_US create an outstanding value proposition for donors who wish to support the creation and implementation of methodologies that produce sustainable development in poor communities.
