Who we are
In the 21st Century, 1.3 billion people live in multidimensional poverty, grappling with a combination of hunger, malnutrition, poor health, illiteracy and a lack of education, lack of food security, water and sanitation, homelessness, disempowerment, unemployment, poor quality work and low pay, threat of violence, and living in environmentally hazardous areas, among others.
PFP is a non-profit that tackles this by investing in the vision of the community. We work with them on practical solutions that meet their needs, create economic opportunities, and build their resilience, capacity and capability to run the venture after we exit.
We call this approach #handshakesnothandouts.
