WILLIAM ABRAMS, PRESIDENT, TRICKLE UP
2019 will be our 40th anniversary it’s a big deal because there are over 300 million people in the world who live at the level of poverty where we work.
We’re a catalyst we help poor people start businesses, save money, build a better future for their children
But at the end of the day it’s the people themselves who are the heroes of this story.
Millie and Glen Leet were visionaries. The original DNA that they injected into Trickle Up in 1979 is still there today. I’m not sure they could have even imagined the progress we’ve made.
The fact that we’ve been around for nearly 40 years is evidence that this works, it’s needed. The fact that we’re now gaining momentum and growing fast suggests that we can ramp up our impact tenfold or a hundred fold.
We have the ability to end global poverty. There are no excuses for not doing it.
Nathalie Laidler-Kylander, president and CEO of Trickle Up, joins Richard Brubaker on the Mission Driven Podcast to talk about Trickle Up’s unique approach to ending extreme poverty and partnering with women in the most low-resource settings.
Nathalie Laidler-Kylander, President and CEO of Trickle Up, joins Bill Burke on The Optimism Institute’s podcast, Blue Sky, to talk about her career path to Trickle Up and her optimism for solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
Members of Trickle Up’s technical team share Indigenous heritage with our project participants. The FUERTE project allows them to connect more deeply with their native languages, Tzotzil and Tzeltal, and communities in Mexico and supports the connection of Indigenous community members and leaders across the regions.
