Fundacion Mahatma Gandhi

Our Goals

The Foundation channels its energy and resources to fulfill
effectively its mission through the use of best practices, framed
around six organizational goals :

Increase Opportunities for Personal Development
Maximize Vocational Development
Enhance Educational Development
Promote Civic Development
Motivate Organizational Development
Foster Multicultural Development

The successful fulfillment of these organizational goals are
obtained through the use of key strategies, namely:

Promoting strategic collaboration with other organizations that
share similar values and objectives, either local, regional,
national or international. Examples: ACES North America and
INFOTEP.
Establishing mechanisms for education, training and research on
fundamental concepts and successful practices in personal and
community development. Examples: the cardiovascular
research project, the women's center project, the environmental
pilot Las Terrenas Reverde.
Sponsoring programs, projects and events that help consolidate
the mission and vision of the Foundation. Examples: the library,
summer camps and art education.

The challenge for any organization such
as ours is whether to go at it alone or to
establish strong connections with people
and community organizations. The model
that we strive to establish is a principled,
collaborative one. Every volunteer, donor
and partner organization brings us closer
to a fuller realization of the model. It's not
easy. Las Terrenas lacks any history or
pattern of successful collaborative
endeavors for community development.
Day after day we find out how hard it is to
fulfill our aspirations, but the challenge is
a welcomed one.
