ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

ALPS Resilience is committed to helping communities in fragile, conflict and post-conflict regions.

 

ALPS Resilience was founded in 2015 to serve communities affected by conflict and displacement. We are a non-profit organisation. We design and deliver the practical things a community needs to recover and stand on its own: safe water, sanitation, schools, health and community buildings, and the logistics that let aid reach hard places.

 

Today our work centres on water, sanitation and community infrastructure, delivered by our own national teams. ALPS Resilience delivers across Mozambique, South Africa and Ukraine. We are headquartered in South Africa, and in Mozambique we work from permanent bases in Pemba and Palma.

OUR AREAS OF FOCUS

Water & Sanitation

We design, build and rehabilitate water systems: solar towers, boreholes, handpumps, fountains and school sanitation, all self-delivered by our own teams. In Palma District alone we have reached over 100,000 people.

Community Infrastructure

We build the shared spaces communities need to function: meeting halls, community centres, public squares, markets, schools and health facilities, constructed directly by our own Mozambican teams. In places recovering from conflict, permanent civic space signals that normal life has returned.

Humanitarian Response

In conflict-affected environments, delivery itself is the hard part. From 2022 to the end of 2024 we provided the fleet, security assessments and operational presence that let a UN agency reach communities across Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula, and we still carry out field logistics, access and security assessments for humanitarian and development programmes. In Ukraine we have delivered rapid relief and mine-risk education when crises demanded it.

How do we define RESILIENCE?

Resilience refers to a community's ability to withstand or recover from adverse situations, be it environmental disaster, conflict or displacement. From our experience in the field, we treat resilience as the critical lens through which we plan, deliver and measure our work. Alongside the infrastructure we build, we invest in the human dimension of resilience: psychological recovery, social cohesion and self-reliance. That work ranges from canine-assisted therapy for war-affected children in Ukraine to programmes that help people rebuild their lives.

Locally led in every country we work

ALPS Resilience is a locally-led organisation working in fragile and conflict-affected settings. In every country we operate we register as a national entity, and our teams are made up entirely of national staff, so the capacity we build stays where it is needed. We are a Ukrainian national NGO in Ukraine, a registered NGO in South Africa, and in Mozambique a registered NGO that also operates its own licensed construction company. That construction company, ALPS Constructions, Lda, lets ALPS self-deliver water systems, schools, health and community facilities to professional contractor standard, rather than subcontracting to third parties. It is a ring-fenced company with its own governance; grant funds are never cross-subsidised, and any surplus is reinvested into our mission. We employ qualified engineers, supervisors and drilling crews and carry insurance, so more of every dollar reaches the communities we serve.

​

ALPS Resilience operates under written policies on safeguarding and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse, anti-fraud and anti-corruption, code of conduct, gender equality, child protection, procurement and financial management. Registration certificates, audited accounts, policies and licences are available to donors and partners on request at info@alpsresilience.com.
