Tostan was built on the belief that, given the right tools, communities can solve their problems better than foreign organizations.

Today, Tostan’s CEO Elena Bonometti explains why the organization’s unique community empowerment program is so effective and how other entities can implement it.  If you want to learn more about Tostan, visit https://tostan.org/ -- If you aspire to be a System Catalyst and need resources to help you on your journey, subscribe to our newsletter.  To learn more about our mission and our partners, visit systemcatalysts.com.
