Extreme poverty means isolation and exclusion.
It means hunger, illiteracy, and instability.
Powered by discrimination based on gender, heritage, and disability, it endures over generations.
It is a powerful force that affects almost 800 million people worldwide living on less than $1.90 a day.
Combating it isn’t easy. That’s why Trickle Up fights hard.
Our partners and staff join forces with policy makers and allies to understand the barriers that hold people back and break through them.
With training, support, and seed capital our approach gives people the right resources and the confidence to use them. To empower them to transform their own lives, to break the cycle.
Trickle Up starts here.
Lauren Hendricks, President and CEO of Trickle Up, joins Brooke Dunefsky on the Charity Talks podcast to discuss the transformative impact of the “Graduation Approach” in creating economic opportunities for women in extreme poverty.
Indigenous women who hail from our project areas in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, support Trickle Up in facilitating projects and connecting with target communities across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This region is known for having some of the highest levels of poverty in Mexico, and Trickle Up works closely with community leaders to best deliver programs that maximize impact and sustainable solutions.
Indigenous women from Trickle Up’s savings groups in Chiapas discuss how they feel, what they anticipate with saving and building their businesses, and their hopes for the future.
