We Effect’s mission is to conduct development cooperation activities that strengthen local and member-based organisations comprised of women and men living in poverty. By supporting these local associations and cooperative companies, We Effect wants to strengthen members’ influence over their own lives and communities.
Sustainable rural development
We Effect supports smallholder farmers and their organisations. Our support is integral and includes organisational, business and production development, always with a gender perspective.
Adequate housing and habitat
We Effect supports the growth of cooperative housing associations that are self-managed. We support organisations that defend and demand people’s right to adequate housing.

Advocating for the Right to Food
We Effect aims to directly influence policy processes relevant for cooperative smallholder farmers in order to pave way for their right to food.
Partners and programmes
We Effect always cooperate with local partners. Most of them are farmers and housing cooperatives with a member base in vulnerable communities.
