1 in 10 people live in extreme poverty
We figured out how to change that through Village Self-Reliance
Our Solution to Extreme Poverty
Help a family receive programs such as personalized local mentorship, literacy education, goal setting, gardening, income generation, children’s clubs, and more.
Care for Life approaches each community it serves with a unique multidisciplinary approach. From sanitation to education, we recognized that each of these crucial elements was imperative for the community’s ability to sustain itself long after we had completed our work.
We END the cycle of poverty.
We stay until the cycle of self-reliance BEGINS.
Unlike traditional non-profits, Care for Life’s comprehensive community-led approach to teaching crucial life skills makes communities stronger, which allows families that were the poorest of the poor to become healthy and self-reliant.
