A Message from our CEO
Open a newspaper, or more likely the news app on your smartphone, and it becomes quite apparent. Our world is filled with suffering and despair: wars, refugees, floods, famines, and children dying from preventable diseases. What I see—and experience—every day is just the opposite: personal incomes rising, women working in trades and marketplaces, children learning in schools, and families receiving basic health services.

Our vision is a world in which all people have the opportunity to achieve a life free from poverty, with dignity and purpose.
