We do not claim to have the answers to the world's numerous problems of poverty.
We do believe, however, that ordinary people can come together to make real, significant change.
It is because of this belief that a group of friends are dedicating their time, technical expertise, and the little financial resources they have to start an organization that addresses the needs of the world's poorest
It is because of this belief that we call on you to help us in any way that you can.
It is with this belief that we hope for a better day for the poorest in our world.
This belief will sustain us.
Poverty stops here, with us. One village at a time.

Kids, Smiles, Beautiful Faces, Life, Love, Hope.
One village at a time - We can end extreme poverty.
First it starts with the belief that we can...
Then we work towards achieving that belief...
We give...
We hope...
We act...
We love...
Beauty.
Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle - Plato.
The belief that we cannot end the extreme poverty suffered by millions in our world is not only erroneous but it is devoid of hope, and more importantly, it is devoid of the exact kind of hope we need to do just that.
Kids... Hope... Love... Act.
Playing with the camera. They liked it.
They liked it a lot. Most of them had never seen a picture of themselves.
Extreme Poverty is not bigger than us... Nothing is.

We can make a difference, no matter how small.
As long as there is life, there is hope.
There are no chairs. There are no desks. There are no pens. There are no books. But there is hope.
...And there is no stronger catalyst for change than hope.
PSH donated a motorcycle to the village.
When we love, we are capable of anything.
He won a motorcycle in a PSH raffle. He now has a source of income.
Together we can make a difference in the lives of those that need us the most.
