NGO 2.0

…we pursue holistic, sustainable solutions to end extreme poverty. Holistic because the problems of the extreme poor are so interconnected that water and sanitation can’t be separated from education, or agriculture from micro-finance. Sustainable because the poor need solutions to lift themselves out of poverty, not programs that create dependence on an outside organization for resources.

It means that we are constantly working to create appropriate, sustainable solutions in partnership with the poor. It means that we admit that we don’t have it all figured out, but we’ll learn from our mistakes and won’t repeat them. It means that we are the pioneers of the next generation of solutions in this fight, and we’re starting a revolution against extreme poverty.
