How your donation is used to change lives

Your donations are an integral part of our mission to create business solutions to poverty.

We rely on your generous support to cover the remaining costs required to run projects in the global South. All donations of any amount are appreciated and are used to cover the project expenses that are not fully covered by institutional grants.

Every dollar donated through private support is leveraged, on average, 5 times when paired with institutional funding. With your support we can ensure:

  • People find success in business, earn a decent living wage, and provide for their families.
  • Communities thrive from increased investment, the right tools, training and business supports.
  • Economies are transformed to create lasting, sustainable impact that remains long after our projects have closed.
