A critical need exists for competent people who can bring change and lead their communities with compassion and effectiveness. The Garden Project’s objective is to fill this critical need to develop such leaders. The goal is to develop community leaders who will lead without the unhealthy power-centered leadership norms. They should excel in influencing people at the grassroot level, thereby deeply impacting the community.

 

The aim of Garden Project is to bring real impact in the lives of those who are changed through their competent leaders. Through these leaders, people learn a new leadership style by real example. In turn, these people make an impact on their friends, families and the whole community.
