End extreme poverty.

The solution to poverty is more
than physical, it’s spiritual too.
1 in 9
It's not okay that roughly 729 million people are living in extreme poverty.
Partial
It's not okay that most solutions focus only on the physical; neglecting the spiritual, social, and emotional dimensions of poverty.
Handouts
It's not okay that most solutions are focused on 'handouts', which do little more than put a Band-Aid on a gaping wound.
Our approach is different. Instead of handouts, you’ll be creating sustainable development through the local church. But, it’s more than empowering people to help them overcome poverty. It’s about loving our neighbours and joining God in his Kingdom-building, life-giving mission.
