eMi² mobilizes volunteer teams to provide design & planning services for approved development projects through a consultation process. Understanding your ministry and project is Step 1 of that process. Following are the key parts & conditions of Step 1:

• » The cost of waiting

  Client ministries must be ready to wait for assistance. Non-profit design services are not available immediately. As our vision is to mobilize teams of volunteers, projects need to be planned 6-8 months in advance. If you are in a rush to start now, we can't help you. We believe and have seen over & again that forming a partnership for the design is worth waiting for.

• » Hospitality and reimbursement

  Client ministries must be able to host an eMi² volunteer team and provide basic food, lodging & transportation for the team during a 5-7 day visit to your project site or area. Also, the ministry must provide a minimum reimbursement to offset the travel & lodging costs of the team from within India. The reimbursement allows eMi² to service your project on a non-profit basis.

• » Investing in South Asia

  Client ministries must be willing to invest in eMi²'s ministry. Since 1998, we continue to offer non-profit design services. As funds are raised for your development project with the expertise & materials you received from us, we ask you to re-invest in our ministry 1% of the first-phase cost. Your investment enables other ministries like yours to avail of a non-profit design service from eMi².

• » Technical Assistance Application

  All client ministries must apply for the service. The application & supporting information we request in it helps us understand basic information about our clients, their ministries and the project they are proposing. eMi² takes no action to schedule or coordinate a volunteer team for your project until we receive a completed project application which is reviewed internally & formally approved.
