David Humphries, Vice President for Communications & Public Affairs was recently interviewed by Through the Noise, a weekly podcast, where he talked about, in his “melodic Scottish accent” the importance of Global Communities’ community-based approach to development. Using examples from Kenya, Colombia, India, Liberia, Jordan and the US, Humphries highlights how the organization helps communities to build trust, identify problems and develop solutions to improve their lives and livelihoods. “We don’t tell the communities what to do, they tell us,” explains Humphries.
