When it comes to poverty alleviation we quickly find that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. While we often want a “recipe”, what we actually need is a framework to apply within our unique context.
Using the best practices in community development and easy-to-use innovation tools, Innovate: Global equips your team with a biblical framework to develop a poverty alleviation ministry that fosters real change. We’ll train your church or non-profit to create a new or improved ministry that empowers the materially poor. Learn More & Register!
Tired of financial advice that doesn’t work for people in poverty?
Traditional financial education tools aren’t designed for people living at the poverty line. Let’s face it: when someone is struggling to make ends meet, advice on retirement accounts and mortgages just isn’t relevant. We’ll train you to launch a financial education class for low-income adults at your church or ministry. Learn More & Register!
Help people on the margins find and keep meaningful work.
Everyone deserves the chance to experience the dignity of work. But many people face challenges that keep them unemployed or underemployed: lack of skills, past incarceration, poor education, access to transportation…and more. Without the right tools and a supportive community, it’s nearly impossible to overcome these obstacles. We’ll train you to launch a career development class for low-income adults at your church or ministry. Learn More & Register!
