| Relieving Poverty |  | Chronic poverty is the single most negative determinant of health. Rural poor are not only the most vulnerable and marginalized of poor populations, but also the least enfranchised in the established economic and market system. The turning point would be to give small farmers capacity and access to the same market information that larger producers enjoy.
Our approach is to provide specific and localized services to address their needs and help them to be more profitable within their value chains. Sensitive to the need to overcome the absence of electrification and low literacy, our programs provide people earning less than $2 and $1 per day with access to mobile telephones, email, the internet, and computerization, which permanently and positively transforms their income-earning ability.
In so doing, we make providing basic services to low-density rural areas more attractive to mobile telephone and internet operators. |
