Emphasizing the power of dialogue over teaching, LOWO was based on the premise that women and men, guided by trained peer facilitators, could talk together to identify their own challenges, and discover practical solutions on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f78fa84905a57af621e300/8b678911-6f3b-46f4-8724-5d568cf61d72/3+LOWO+%2842%29.jpg Our History - Boorstein hoped that community conversations would allow people to connect the dots for themselves to uncover the root causes of their challenges. Through these conversations, community members considered the impact on their land, access to resources, and economic challenges. Insights gleaned from these conversations could lead to an interest in family planning and even generate a demand for contraceptive services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f78fa84905a57af621e300/84ca3e95-5452-4eeb-891e-bc2879cd20cb/PICT2866.JPG Our History - LOWO inspired The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) to use its community conversation approach in their work relating to sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence. These examples are inspiring, as LOWO’s format offers a useful tool to many existing organizations working in international development. LOWO serves as a model for profound restructuring of the standard way that international development organizations operate, by truly keeping local people’s voices at the forefront. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f78fa84905a57af621e300/23a0aa4b-01fd-4ca3-97c5-274e57212182/0231714-R2-035-16.jpg Our History -
