WHY THIS MATTERS

Right now, 712 million people still live in extreme poverty—families struggling to meet even their most basic needs for food, clean water, health, income, and education.

Yet, the very organizations closest to the solutions—the locally led groups transforming their own communities—receive only 1.2% of global humanitarian aid.

That’s why One Day’s Wages chooses to do things differently.

We fund grassroots leaders through multi-year partnerships that build resilience and reduce vulnerability for thousands of families every year.

And it all starts with you.

When you give your One Day’s Wage, your generosity joins hundreds of others to become a powerful force for change—helping families build livelihoods, send children to school, access clean water, and shape brighter futures.
