Health
and Wellness
The self-determination model is central to providing wellness,health and healing support to our children, families and community.Healthy children are more likely to reach their physical, intellectual and social potentials and become productive, self-sufficient adults. |
Safety
We believe that every child and youth living in the Iron Triangle deserves to live in a safe setting that provides for his or her safety, permanence and well being. Therefore, the Collaborative partners with families and community allies for the well-being of children in the Iron Triangle |
Education Our under-resourced education systems often underestimate the native intelligences of our children. BBK supports and incubates initiatives that increase the two-way transfer of knowledge between generations, connect community members to each other, and expand the sense of local and global selfhood. |
Self
Sufficiency
Successful communities are those that thoughtfully maintain good social and economic opportunities, positive environments and strong community action. Therefore, we build the capacity of Iron Triangle residents to facilitate the healthy development and education of their children. |
