We're Fighting Poverty With Business. And We Want You To Join Us.
While many view business people as simply people who can write checks so that others can do good work, we believe it is the skills and talents of the business people themselves that are the most pivotal in fighting poverty. It’s a proven model with measurable impact.
Much of our Business Affiliate (BA) group’s work leverages the resources of Partners Worldwide.
Active Projects in 3 Countries
Nicaragua
We’re working with a coffee growers association that provides agricultural training, capital, and buying power to hundreds of small farmers in Nicaragua.
Uganda
We’re working with a microfinance organization that provides hundreds of working capital loans of approximately $100 each to women in Uganda. They have an impressively high repayment rate and have numerous clients who have grown their businesses to the point they could move from the slums and into a house.
Trinidad and Tobago
We’re working with a business training organization that provides full programs to entrepreneurs and small businesses across Trinidad and Tobago.
Hope, Purpose, and Human Flourishing
Our story is not one of the familiar messaging we often hear that gives the impression that the poor in the emerging world are helpless and dying unless we rush to send money.
Instead our story is one of hope, purpose, and human flourishing. It is a story of people who, despite their material depravity, have smiles, hopes, and dreams for their families. They laugh, joke, work, and get frustrated just like we do. They are the protagonists of their own entrepreneurial growth stories, and they seek people like you and me to invest in their success.
