In 2011, I found myself at a turning point in my journey as a leader in community development. After two decades of empowering communities, I returned to the place where it all began, only to be shocked by the news that funding had been squandered, the project had faltered, and the once-enthusiastic community team was no more. Valuable resources were cast aside, and all evaluative and reflective records had vanished.
Determined not to let this dampen my spirit, I reached out to leaders I had collaborated with in the past. Together, we crafted a visionary plan called 'Hands.' The purpose was to create a central hub for all intra-provincial NGOs, facilitating needs-based volunteer sharing to ensure resilient succession management, greater community empowerment, and new life for abandoned impactful initiatives. Our vision also included a system where resources were managed for maximum efficiency and positive effect.
Months were dedicated to meticulously developing the strategies and documentation for Hands. However, during this process, a troubling realisation emerged. The entire team that had once been part of this endeavour had moved on, seeking stable incomes and security.
Additionally, the field of web development, which was instrumental to our aspirations, was still in its infancy.
Nevertheless, the flame of the Hands dream never wavered within me. Inspired to think on a larger scale, I resolved to start small with continuous steps towards assembling a skilled, trainable, and value-driven team loyal to the vision. Together, we began developing the software infrastructure that could connect NGOs globally and meaningfully.
After many challenges and trials, we are finally starting to witness what once seemed impossible. Together with an exceptional (and growing) team, and with what one might call divine inspiration and favour, we have developed the technology and strategic blueprints for much of the journey ahead. The most exciting part of the journey is now about to begin. So, to all the social impact entrepreneurs out there, remember: your journey, much like mine, is a tapestry of challenges, triumphs, and unwavering determination. The most thrilling part of your adventure is on the horizon, waiting to unfold. Embrace the path you're on, for it is in the challenges that your seeds of legacy germinate.
