Trickle Up has been a pioneer graduating people out of extreme poverty since 1979. Trickle Up helps people in extreme poverty and vulnerability advance their economic and social well-being. Trickle Up drives large-scale change by partnering with governments, global institutions, and local organizations.
Using the graduation approach, Trickle Up provides the very poorest people with seed capital grants, skills training and coaching, and the support they need to create small businesses. We connect them to savings groups where they save money and access credit with others, create plans for the future and enact change in their communities. We help people connect with others in their villages, build self-confidence and find their voice because poverty is about more than just money—it’s about exclusion.
