PLEASE NOTE: Currently, the entire Grassroots Section is being edited, updated, and improved. Please come back soon. Meanwhile, take a look at our joint venture with Village Health Works, Burundi, our most updated project.
Overview
End Poverty Now dedicates 70% of its funds towards poverty-alleviating grassroots projects around the world. We work to establish locally developed grassroots projects aimed at creating long-term sustainability and growth. We receive, and carefully select, submissions from international organizations looking to engage in joint ventures. Then we collaborate closely with our partners to ensure that the project thrives. To view our joint ventures so far, click on the project links on the left.
Our Grassroots Projects team is lead by the Director of Grassroots Projects, and supported through our Grassroots Projects Committee, whom together, review proposal submissions, assessing potential risks, impacts, sustainability, and efficiency of projects before selection. They manage the activities throughout the duration of each project to make sure successful project progressions are in order.
