Poverty is being a refugee with no country, no identity and little hope of a future. Do You

Poverty is having to walk miles for water that I would think twice about giving my animals to drink back home;

Poverty is not being able to go to school because your family needs your labour to survive another day;

Poverty is dying of acute diarrhea because your family couldn’t afford the medicine that would have saved you;

Poverty is being an IDP in the country you love, on the run from rebel or dictator armies;

Poverty is sending your teenage daughter to the city to get a good job to support the family, and then finding out a year later that she is HIV positive, because the good job had been a sinister cloak for something else;

Poverty is being manipulated and used by landlords, shopkeepers and bank tellers because you’ve never learnt to read;

Poverty is killing your new- born daughter because of the crippling expense of her future dowry price;

Poverty is the person who has no voice and no advocate to speak for him.

Can one person make a difference?

As we see, truly see, the person in front of us, so we can make the difference to that one person.

We can begin the journey, not of Self discovery, the seeming catch cry of our times, but of Selfless discovery, and I can promise you it will be the most satisfying and adventure- filled journey you will ever take.

May this site challenge and move you toward a new freedom to act, without guilt or fear, on behalf of those whose voices are not heard.

WELCOME!
