ABOUT::Mission

The mission of Poverty Stops Here is to combat extreme poverty in our world. We do this by partnering with villages to understand their greatest needs and working with them to create and implement sustainable projects that will ultimately make them economically self sufficient.

Because of the vast disparity that exists in our world in terms of financial resource allocation, we are lending a hand to some of the poorest villages in order to help people in forgotten parts of our world start living better lives.

Poverty Stops Here learns about the lives, struggles, cultures, and systems in place in the different villages we partner with. Armed with this knowledge, we provide financial and technical assistance to the village to implement projects that will not only make life better for the people of the village, but also be sustained by the village.

We do not claim to have the answer to the numerous problems of poverty in our world. Brilliant economists (you can read some of their books in our Recommended Reading section) have been trying to figure out how to eradicate poverty for a long time. We do believe, however, that ordinary people can come together to make real, significant change.

It is because of this belief that a group of friends have dedicated their time, technical expertise, and the little financial resources we have to start an organization that addresses the needs of the world's poorest. It is because of this belief that we call on you to help us in any way that you can. It is with this belief that we hope for a better day for the poorest in our world. Poverty stops here, with us. One village at a time.
