WHO WE ARE

Projects for Progress (PfP) was founded in 2008 by Jace and Sarah Rabe and Serge Kponou in Benin, West Africa, with the vision to create solutions for basic problems that those in developing countries often face. 

Our desire from the beginning was not to impose our ideas or ways onto others, but it was to listen, ask questions, and create a strategy of partnership to equip and empower others.

 

WHAT WE DO

SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS
PfP believes in sustainable projects that are filtered through these organizational pillars, clean water, education, small business development, and health.  

ENGAGE IN IMPACT
Our purpose is to impact the lives of those we encounter, to forever change their perception of themselves and their self-worth, and to increase their value within their family and community by putting into action the love spoken of by Jesus Christ.

HOW WE DO IT

CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS
Our strategy is not to visit a village one or two times, assist with one problem and move on, but we cultivate a relationship with the leaders and local villagers. 

LONG TERM INVOLVEMENT
We commit to long term involvement and require the same of the village.  They must have ownership in the changes, they must have a voice in the change they want for their village and community.  This type of relationship is accomplished through us listening, evaluating, keeping our word, and honoring them and their culture.
