WHO WE ARE

We exist for one purpose: 
to end poverty.

We believe laughter is a force for social change and that helping others can be fun and fulfilling. Even as we see impossible situations all around us, we know that a brighter future is within reach because we’ve watched it happen.  Since 2015, we’ve seen the power of people coming together to create change, through big campaigns and small everyday acts, and we’ve seen millions join our movement towards a just world free from poverty.

Our goal is ambitious. So are we.

Poverty isn’t just about how much is in your bank account or where your family will be sleeping tonight. It’s about a lack of opportunities and not having the agency to determine your own outcomes. That’s why we invest in programs that look beyond short-term fixes and instead envision a world where anyone can succeed.
