What is lived experience and why is it relevant to The Abundance Project?
‘Lived experience is the knowledge and understanding you get when you have personally lived through something.’

Lived experience is important to The Abundance Project, because we want to make sure that the data we collect and the findings they suggest actually reflect the reality of the people we are trying to serve. This is particularly important for when our findings will influence interventions or reports.
