OUR Strategy

This year’s strategic focus in our tenth year is centered around five (5) pillars of change. Our history as an organization has shown us what is possible when we are committed to our mission and ultimately impact. The quintessential question, therefore, is centered on how do we culminate this decade while creating an even better foundation for our future. X is the roman numeral for 10, hence, we decided to focus our year in terms that would capture the essence of what this year means to us. Additionally, our aim is to highlight our outward focus as an organization.
