PROGRAMS

CHILDREN ENSLAVED IN BRICK KILNS

Brick kiln slavery is a pervasive issue in Pakistan, where families, often driven by dire circumstances, become entrapped in a cycle of debt bondage.
Families, including young children, find themselves toiling in grueling conditions, molding bricks under the scorching sun for meager wages.
Your donations can buy the families debt and end future generations from being enslaved. Average family debt is less than $2,000.
We get the adults into a two-month job training and support group and the children into schools through our partnerships. For most, they can not read or write and have never experienced classroom learning.

CLEAN FILTERED DRINKING WATER

We believe clean water should not be a luxury enjoyed by some, but a right for all people.
Poverty Solutions uses technology, sustainable water purification systems, and community education to make a difference in the lives of families and individuals.

Your financial contributions help provide children and communities with clean water and other support that gives them dignity and hope.

For only $50, we are able to deliver the Sawyer Filter water buckets internationally. The last for 20 years and 200,000 gallons of clean, filtered drinking water.
The use of Sawyer water filters can reduce diarrhea by over 90% by filtering by 99.999% of waterborne illness.

MICRO LOANS FOR WOMEN

Poverty Solutions offers small financial loans. We provide training, discipleship and small loans to allow women in underserved communities to provide for their families and strengthen their communities

Our model consists of groups of ten women who choose to stand in solidarity with one another and agree to cross-guarantee each other’s loans.

Groups of ten come together to make up the larger entity, known as a “Micro Group.” The Group then meets on a weekly or monthly basis to repay their loans, encourage one another, and receive training, advice, and support.

With a 98% average payback, with your donation we are able to reloan many times over.

Average group loans are $175 per person or $1,750 per group or 10.

CHILDREN FEEDING PROGRAMS

We partner and support local community partners in Guatemala with weekly feeding programs throughout the underserved areas that are in need.
Our lunch programs in remote villages allows kids to have a meal during the school's lunch break where otherwise they go without eating.
Our Saturday feeding programs allow the children to eat, learn and forget about hunger. When the kids are picked up, we send soup home for their families to eat during the week.

DELIVERING GROCERIES TO THE POOR

During our Group Tours we always have a heart for the poor and underserved.
Our teams will go to the local stores and deliver bags full of groceries to the communities in need.
$40 of food can last a family for weeks allowing them not to go hungry and know someone cares.
Poverty Solutions prioritizes the preservation of human dignity and the care of those in need. We address poverty through sustainable, community-driven solutions. Our community of donors and volunteers share our belief that poverty is not inevitable.
Join us in the fight against poverty—support our charitable organization by spreading the word or becoming a donor.

INTERNATIONAL GROUP TRIPS

Join us on a Group Trip to locations throughout the world.
We have 4 to 6 Christian based trips throughout the year where we teach and train on biblical principles along with our work with the poor.
We offer the following non-religious trips annually:
1. Pakistan brick kiln rescue trip where we pay off the debts of the enslaved annually. Tour the schools and meet the people.
2. Guatemala and Peru to provide clean drinking water to remote villages with no water sources except polluted streams and creeks.
3. Meet those in Guatemala that our Micro Loan programs support.
