What We Do

Because International is committed to common sense innovation for humanitarian aid.  We seek to create innovative solutions to the social justice issues that plague developing countries.  We will provide a better help and hope to those who need it most so they will have ever-increasing opportunities for life.

So what exactly do we do?

Basically, Because International finds ways to do humanitarian aid better.  We will look at a given social problem (i.e. malaria) and what organizations are currently doing to fight against it (i.e. bed nets).  We will identify the gaps in the system (i.e. people not using the bed nets their given), and then connect with experienced organizations, knowledgeable people, and passionate young adults to develop an innovative solution to the issue (a better bed net).  That is the basic model of what we do: recognize social problems, analyze current strategies and actions of humanitarian aid with the given issue, identify gaps and insufficiencies, and then develop an innovative solution that will bring a better help and hope to the people.  But we cannot do this alone.  We have to have the help of passionate young people in this Millennial Generation supporting us with their heart, knowledge, experiences, and passion.

So what exactly do we do?

We try to find better ways to help people who desperately need it.

And we want you to join us in this mission.

How We Do It

Because International has several components to its system of innovation.  Here is a brief summary of how we do what we do.

Research and Realization.
Because International researches the humanitarian issues that are limiting the opportunities of life for millions of people living in developed countries around the world.  This research is done through a variety of different ways.  The information gathered through this research is used to realistically analyze how we are doing with humanitarian aid.  And these analyses bring us to points of realization.  We use the research in order to realize where we are weak and in which areas we can improve.  It may be considered a simple thing, but one of the biggest ways that we create innovative solutions is by realizing where we need to do better.

Communication and Connection.
Because International uses their research and realization process to identify areas of humanitarian aid that can be improved.  Once these concentrated are identified then we use communication and connection to begin to develop solutions.  We communicate with people living firsthand on the ground level in developing countries.  We connect with other nonprofit organizations and government agencies that work in the humanitarian aid sector.  This communication and connection brings about ideas, updates, and solutions.  It sparks creativity and ingenuity as special focus is put upon improving humanitarian aid.  Communication and connection leading to conversations and collaboration which results in inspiration and innovation.

True Testing.
One of the most important aspects for how we do what we do involves testing our ideas.  We believe in involving the people who are actually going to be using these humanitarian aid products and tools.  When we have established a humanitarian aid improvement, we take our ideas out to the places where they will be used.  We truly test our solutions right where they will be used and get responses from the people who are actually using them.  This true testing gives us valuable feedback and allows us to see if our innovations work or do not work at a ground-level

Passionate Pursual.
The fuel that lights our fire is the passion of the young people that partner with us.  This Millennial Generation is truly a social justice generation, and what we are doing makes sense to them.  They want to be a part of making a better humanitarian aid because they know that we can do this better.  Because International has this same passion for social justice, and it is the key motivating factor in every single thing that we do.  Our partners and supporters and friends are the best part of us – and passion for social justice is one of the biggest ways how we do what we do.

So we combine all of these things to develop innovative solutions for these long-standing social justice problems in order to provide those living in extreme poverty with a better help and hope.  And we would love for you to join us!
