Organisation Summary

We help families start their own businesses so they can earn sustainable incomes. We improve health, sanitation and nutrition so illness doesn’t stop families from running their own businesses or create greater burden. We support better education so that the next generation of children can have the chance to leave poverty behind. And we provide domestic violence support and trafficking prevention training to help communities become and remain, safe places for the next generation.

To meet this goal, we want to be sure that what we’re doing is meeting their needs and making a tangible difference in the lives of the families we’re helping. We know that, to tackle the complex issue of poverty, we need a multi-faceted approach that addresses the specific needs of the people we serve.

Our solutions centre on four key aspects of the poverty cycle:

  • microfinance
  • health
  • education
  • safety.
