Isaiah 58:6-7
That’s nearly 1 in every 10 people around the globe—and double the population of the USA. At Asha Partners we don’t just treat the
symptoms of poverty; we stop it at the root causes. We empower families to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity through
micro-loans while also addressing the holistic needs of the community members such as education and healthcare.
When we address poverty holistically, children go to school, girls are safe from human trafficking, health and well-being improves,
and communities thrive.
Not only are we helping those that felt forgotten to flourish, but
we’re transforming communities – sustainably and holistically.
Families in poverty may sell their children out of desperation or marry off their daughters underage just to keep food in their mouths.
Micro-loans bring families out of poverty and help prevent human trafficking and child marriage.
Over 90% of our micro-loans go to women, helping them to start or develop businesses that provide for their families.
87% of women have vulnerable employment in low-income countries (ILO). Our programs reduce inequalities and increase opportunities.
Families coming out of poverty are able to provide nutritious food and consistent meals that improve health and well-being.
The leading cause of death for teenage girls where we work is due to pregnancy and childbirth complications. Our healthcare initiatives are helping to save lives, especially for young women.
Many young children work instead of attending school in order to support the family income. Eliminating poverty helps keep children, especially girls, in school so they can realize their God-given potential.
35% of children do not complete primary school in low-income countries (World Bank). Our free rural primer schools are breaking cycles of illiteracy for families.
We research the needs of the communities we seek to serve and target our programs to most effectively address the root causes of
poverty. Our micro-loan centers provide financial literacy training, a support network, and insurance programs to help new
entrepreneurs be successful from the beginning.
When you invest in poverty alleviation and holistic community transformation projects, you are bringing hope to
the unreached. Micro-loans are gifts that keep giving. A family who takes out a micro-loan pays it back, so it can
help family after family, indefinitely.
