From 2001 to 2009 Empowerment Works has been run entirely by volunteer staff and board members - and is proud to have invested over 90% of all donor income to global grass-roots programs.

As EW transforms from an implementing organization to fully realizing its purpose as a catalyst for collaboration - reducing duplication in efforts and increasing global impact through partners, our dedication to make every cent count, remains.

Where we can gain the help of a competent intern or volunteer rather than pay a salary we do. In global programs, we work through existing infrastructures of local implementing partners, thus eliminating major overhead costs. Our staff & volunteers work out of home offices as much as possible, and use free internet phone service, such as www.skype.com.
