in the fight to alleviate extreme poverty
this is why we exist
Globally, more than 800 million people – 10% of the world’s population – experience extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $3.00 a day. Extreme poverty means lacking basic necessities for survival, including food, water, income, healthcare, and education. Leaders in these communities deeply understand the needs, but only about 5% of global development funding goes directly to local organizations.
in response to the challenge
this is what we do
One Day’s Wages exists to alleviate extreme poverty by investing in, amplifying, and coming alongside locally led organizations in underserved communities.
Invest In: We fund grassroots organizations implementing community-led solutions to extreme poverty. Whenever possible, we offer flexible, multi-year funding.
Amplify: We highlight our partners to expand their influence and elevate their expertise. We share about our partners through our website, social media channels, newsletters, and events.
Come Alongside: We support partners with capacity-sharing opportunities that center local expertise. We offer webinars, discussions, newsletters, a resource library, and personalized support.
