    Trickle Up helps people in extreme poverty and vulnerability advance their economic and social well-being. We drive large-scale change by partnering with governments, global institutions, and local organizations.

    Since our founding in 1979, we've helped more than one million of the poorest, most vulnerable people move to greater economic self-sufficiency and connection with their communities. We provide women, indigenous families, people with disabilities, and refugees with seed capital grants, skills training, 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.
