The Struggle
Poverty isn’t a distant tragedy, it’s a daily reality for millions of people
About 700 Million people live in extreme poverty, living on less than $2.15 a day (Source: World Bank, 2023)
The Cost of Ignoring Poverty
Behind every broken system—violence, disease, injustice—poverty is silently working. Until we fight it, we’re just treating symptoms, not the disease.
The Solution
We don’t create dependency - we build self reliance.
Through our "teach a man to fish" approach, we focus on mindset as much as skillset. Rather than offering short-term aid, we empower individuals to believe in their own ability to succeed through mentorship, accountability, and a practical path forward.
Moving people out of poverty with the MBS Course and Self-Reliance Groups
Through the MBS Course and Self-Reliance Groups, participants gain real-world financial literacy and learn how to manage their businesses with confidence. Before joining the course, only 40% of participants kept business records—but after completing it, 93% report consistent record-keeping. This powerful shift, backed by over 117,000 responses, shows how practical tools and community support lead to lasting change.

Our Reach
Our work spans across dozens of countries, empowering individuals with the tools to lift themselves and others out of poverty. Through our Master of Business in the Streets (MBS) course, thousands have learned to start and grow their own small businesses. Many graduates go on to become Success Ambassadors – local leaders facilitating this self-reliance course in their own communities. Our reach also extends to wellness facilitators and peer counselors, who guide others toward emotional resilience and stability. Together, these changemakers form a growing network of self-reliance leaders creating lasting impact around the world.
Sustainable Impact
When you empower one individual, you’re not just changing one life—you’re transforming an entire network of people who rely on them. In many poverty-stricken communities, their single source of income supports their immediate family and often extends to relatives, neighbors, and others in need, creating a powerful ripple effect of stability and hope.
