We aim to end the grip of poverty

Poverty is a persistent global issue that can be attributed to a multitude of causes encompassing various aspects of individuals’ lives. Factors like lack of education, limited access to healthcare, inadequate job opportunities, systemic inequalities, and social exclusion all contribute to the perpetuation of poverty. Consequently, effectively addressing poverty necessitates a comprehensive and multi-dimensional strategy that targets these underlying factors.
