About this listen

Welcome to RISE: Solution to Extreme Poverty in Rural Villages. I'm Wade Griffith from Shanta Village Partners, and I'm joined by my co-host Jaipreet Kaur from All We Can. This Podcast is a space for practitioners, funders, change makers, and anyone committed to eliminating extreme poverty to share their passion and knowledge on long-term approaches to rural development that center on community leadership. Each episode features practical strategies, lessons learned, and case studies from initiatives that are re-balancing power, prioritizing local knowledge, and building systems that last. At RISE, we're committed to advancing community-led development and rethinking the role of international actors through a decolonial lens. Special thanks to Fort Lewis College's radio station, KDUR, for their recording expertise and live airing of RISE.

    Wade and Jai delve into mental health in the rural areas where both Shanta and All We Can operate, with limited access to help and support for mental health needs. Wade shares an update on a recent project that implemented a robust water/solar installation in the Siyowi "campus" and explains how the Shanta model works as a long-term community-led development solution. All We Can is preparing to unveil its new 5-year organizational strategy, which will further enable the organization to charge ahead with its updated sustainable development efforts.
