Our Strategy
The process of developing sustainability and translating commitments into results will require learning from past strategies, implementing actions designed to achieve strategic objectives, and ensuring the provision of support mechanisms. Only by doing so can H2O, along with its partners, realistically expect to be an effective participant in this redevelopment project and achieve life changing results for the people of Burundi.
Attaining a sustainable future requires a commitment to a healthier environment and economy that can enhance the social well-being of individuals in Burundi. We must emphasize the need for greater recognition of the interdependence between societies and cultures, economic growth, and the biophysical implications of our activities in sustainable development. The H2O Team for Sustainable Economic Development in Burundi are poised and ready to move forward on this project.
Specific challenges of this strategy include, but are not limited to:
The depth and breadth of the potential marketplace have been determined using the industry standard proprietary target market methodology. In contrast to classical supply/demand analysis—which is based on supply-side dynamics and baseline demographic projections—target market analysis establishes the optimum market position derived from the gathering of hard data and lifestyle characteristics of households in the portrayed area within the framework of the local village context. The target market methodology is particularly effective in defining shelter potential because it encompasses not only basic demographic characteristics, such as income and age, but also less-frequently analyzed attributes such as mobility rates, lifestyle patterns, the compassion factor, and cultural compatibility issues.
Green Power
Green power is electricity that is generated from resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro facilities.
Communications
This is an essential part of the process of sustainability. Shawn Ring founded Assemble Communications, Charlotte, NC and has the technology and the compassion to help emerging nations with their communications system.
