We tackle the power imbalances that cause poverty by working together with those who have been left behind. We seek to create a world in which everyone has an equal voice, equal power, and an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives.

People living in poverty should be able to make their own decisions about the future. We fight for their dignity and support them to change their own lives.

Together with people living in poverty, we amplify our voices to boldly speak truth to power, and to challenge systems and structures that oppress people.
