• The greatest stakeholders in eliminating poverty are the people living in it.
• The key to overcoming poverty is empowering leaders in developing communities who have sustainable, scalable solutions.
• Responsible development requires action today and a commitment for the future.

Our mission is to eradicate poverty by engaging students and empowering communities.

As we go about our mission of eradicating poverty, it's critical that we treat our community partners with dignity.  We set out this philosophy to reflect our intention to give developing communities the full respect a partner deserves.

We must always remember that our partners know their needs better than we do, that we can play a role by accelerating their efforts, and that our support is only useful when we make a long term commitment.
