Introduction

Nascent Prospects is a locally rooted organization committed to catalyzing a powerful and rapidly growing community of grassroots women and girls to engage and improve their quality of life and that of their communities.

How we work

We deploy multi-faceted approaches to promote women’s participation in governance, sustainable development, and in pursuit of their rights. These include intersectional grassroots activism, capacity building, and leadership development. Our grassroots activism interventions promote increased civic engagement and grow demand for accountability and responsiveness on issues at the intersection of rights, governance, and development. Through activism, capacity, and leadership development, we turn progressive ideas into action, increase women’s inclusion, power and influence in the family, community, at the local and the national levels.

Core Values

Diversity

We are an inclusive community of diverse grassroots women both in age and ethnicity. We guide and encourage women of different ages and generations to engage and flourish in their journey to live their best lives, in all aspects.

Solidarity

We strive to learn and work in, for and with our community to achieve desired results. Our community is the reason that our members join the movement; to make our community a better place to live. Our movement is driven by local demands and priorities. Our projects and activities are a major force in shaping our community.

Communication

We lead authentically by fostering self-awareness and transparency on needs, plans, and values.

Responsibility

We strive to be a force for change by embracing a standard of excellence and promoting responsibility for actions and solutions.

Honesty

We act with integrity, e.g., act pursuant to commitments; if such is later deemed impossible, we communicate and act on what is.

Respect

We model desired conduct by asking direct, empathetic questions and listening for content and emotion on problems to foster dialogue on solutions.
