National and Community Host-Networks
Support for the sustainable economic development of rural communities and their capacities to host travelers is a focused effort of the organization's community outreach. This includes facilitating host-networks to offer meals to travelers, provide home stays and offer other cultural experiences through traditional dance and festivals. As host-networks develop, the Initiative will work with partner organizations to assisting communities with small business creation to continue to provide food, lodging and other services. Through a collaborative planning approach these partnerships are designed to be socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. If you would like to be included in this host network please email us at info@abrahampath.org.
