Help 1 million out of systemic poverty
through education and opportunity.
Impact of Poverty
Poverty is the direct link to soldier depression, prison, or suicide.
POVERTY is the problem.
Poverty is due to lack of skills.
The ONLY way to eliminate poverty is to
pay people more money.
The only path to more money is through skills training, education, and opportunity for a career with a livable wage.
Systemic poverty refers to poverty that is derivative of the way we have structured the economy.
It is the economic exploitation of people who are poor through laws, policies, practices and systems that perpetuate their impoverished status.
Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs of groceries, day care, transportation, housing, and medical.
Regardless of our own personal politics, thought processes, or mindset, it is up to each of us to help teach, train, and offer resources to help others overcome poverty through their own hard work.
This is solved through education and opportunity.
