Villages asks Aisha privately. A no stays private.

A member asks. Villages finds who can help.

Run it your way

One person, a team, or no one in the middle

A community lead makes every introduction, a team shares one inbox, or Villages routes each ask straight to the right member.

Private by design

Villages finds who has really done it. Nobody's contacts are shown to anyone, and a no stays private.
