Established in May 2016, AREAS has emerged as a steadfast advocate for sustainable development, focusing its efforts on uplifting marginalized and vulnerable populations across diverse thematic areas. Rooted in the core values of integrity, collaboration, and innovation, AREAS envisions a future where rural communities thrive, equipped with the knowledge, resources, and support necessary to break the cycle of poverty and create a more prosperous tomorrow.
As an organization committed to holistic development, AREAS recognizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of human well-being and environmental sustainability.

By strategically aligning its efforts with these thematic areas, AREAS empowers communities to address their unique challenges while fostering resilience and self-sufficiency.
At the heart of AREAS’s mission is a fervent dedication to promoting food security and livelihoods. Through initiatives such as cash transfers, agricultural training, climate-smart farming practices, and fisheries livelihood activities, AREAS not only ensures that communities have access to nourishing sustenance but also equips them with the skills to generate income and build prosperous futures. By prioritizing the empowerment of women, youth, and marginalized groups, AREAS enhances inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.
To be a catalyst for positive change in rural areas, AREAS envisions thriving communities where every individual has access to essential resources, education, and support, leading to self-reliance, dignity, and a brighter future.
Empowering rural communities through innovative solutions and sustainable development, AREAS is committed to fostering holistic growth, enhancing livelihoods, and promoting equity to create a future.
