PRISM is a non-profit voluntary organization whose mission is to foster local and family enterprises for increased production and income in poor rural communities. PRISM believes that human and natural resources needed to do this exist in rural communities, which need to be reexamined from a new perspective for full utilization of the potentials. On this basis PRISM works as partners and equal participant with these communities and with public and private institutions that serves them.

PRISM researches powerful ideas and develops them into innovative opportunities to increase productivity. We want to offer impoverished rural families a realistic alternative to either urban flight or further degradation of their environment. We are, therefore, dedicated to creating sustainable, rural enterprises that provide the opportunity to work and prosper.

In doing so, PRISM promotes interdependence between our partner communities and the modern world. We want rural communities to become competitive through ventures founded on excellent performance, good management and appropriate high technology.
