Our Three Organizational Objectives

At Walking in Grace for Lifelong Impact (WiGLI), our work is guided by three integrated organizational objectives that shape everything we do — from child health to climate resilience, from community empowerment to evidence-based innovation. They reflect who we serve, how we serve, and why our work creates lasting change.

We strengthen the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of vulnerable children and their caregivers through integrated programs in:

  • 🩺 Health, Nutrition & HIV Response
  • 🧠 Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
  • 🎓 Education, Early Childhood Development & Life Skills
  • Food Security, Household Economic Empowerment & Family Support

Our goal:
Healthy, empowered, and hopeful children and families who can thrive with dignity and shape their own future.

Promote access to safe water, sanitation, climate-smart livelihoods, and environmental stewardship to build resilient communities that can adapt to economic and environmental challenges.

We help communities build safe, resilient, and self-reliant environments through:

  • WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) and safe community spaces
  • Climate-smart agriculture, food security & household livelihoods
  • Environmental stewardship and disaster-preparedness

Our goal:
Communities equipped with clean water, sustainable food systems, and climate-adaptive solutions that protect both people and the planet.

Leverage rigorous research, digital transformation, and strategic collaborations to enhance evidence-based programming, increase effectiveness, scale impact, and ensure sustainable operations through robust monitoring and resource mobilization.

We invest in systems and solutions that make impact scalable and sustainable through:

  • 🤝 Strategic partnerships & multi-sector collaboration
  • 📊 Research, data, and digital transformation (MEAL, DHIS2, AI tools)
  • 💡 Innovation hubs, learning platforms & policy influence

Our goal:
A forward-thinking, trusted, learning organization that drives transformation through evidence, technology, and collaboration.

Our priorities

Our priorities reflect our commitment to creating lasting positive change in the communities we serve.

Child Health, Nutrition, and HIV Response

Enhance access to child-centered healthcare, improve access to high impact integrated nutrition interventions for prevention, early detection and case management of acute malnutrition, expand HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care services. Ensure early identification, continuity of care, and comprehensive support for children, adolescents, and families affected by HIV with a focus to knowledge and skills for prevention.

Mental Health and Psychosocial Support

Provide trauma-informed mental health and psychosocial services to enhance emotional resilience, social support, and psychological wellbeing for children, youth, and their caregivers.

Education, Early Childhood Development, and Life Skills

Support holistic child development by delivering early stimulation and learning interventions during the first 1,000 days. Equip school-age children and adolescents with essential life skills, peer education, and mentorship to promote personal growth and harmonious social development.

WASH, Safe Environments, and Climate Resilience Solutions

Promote access to safe water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education while advancing child-centered, climate-smart solutions. Strengthen environmental stewardship, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable practices to create healthy, protective, and resilient environments in homes, schools, and communities.

Food Security and Household Economic Empowerment

Strengthen household resilience through sustainable food production, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, vocational training, income-generating activities, and financial literacy—empowering families to meet their basic needs and provide for their children.

Strategic Partnerships, Research, and Innovation

Enhance collaboration with communities, civil society, government, NGOs, donors, and development partners through effective coordination, participatory research, evidence generation, and digital innovation to maximize reach, learning, and program impact.

All our efforts are made possible only because of your support.
