| - Trickle Up is a nonprofit international development organization that empowers people living in extreme poverty, defined as less than $1.90 a day. Trickle Up's primary focus and expertise is reaching the most vulnerable and excluded women, people with disabilities, members of indigenous groups, and refugees in the Americas, Africa, and India. These groups are disproportionately affected by extreme poverty. They are also the most likely to be beyond the reach of government programs and other anti-poverty NGOs. Since 1979, Trickle Up has helped 250,000 women and families gain the skills and confidence to achieve greater economic self-sufficiency and connection with their communities. When women succeed, so can their children and families. Since five people benefit for each woman reached on average, Trickle Up has helped one million people in its first 37 years. Trickle Up provides participants with seed capital grants, skills training and coaching, and the support they need to create small businesses. Trickle Up connects them to savings groups where they save money and access credit with others, create plans for the future, and enact change in their communities. Trickle Up helps people connect with others in their villages, build self-confidence, and find their voice because poverty is about more than just money—it is about exclusion. Trickle Up is committed to the global goal to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. Trickle Up's goal in the next five years is to lift more than a million people out of extreme poverty. To make it happen, Trickle Up has established partnerships with local organizations, global institutions, and governments who have the capacity to reach far more of the poorest than they could ever reach working alone.
