“Empty your wallet. Don’t ask questions. Look straight ahead – don’t get smart.” Sounds more like an alleyway mugging than international development, right? But that’s what we’ve been told, and up til now, we’ve been obedient. Not anymore.

We can no longer just shut up and give. If we want to see poverty wiped out, we have to start questioning our approach. We can no longer keep supporting the same projects year in and year out without examining the results. They’re not creating sustained change.

This is a journey around the world to discover sustainable solutions to global poverty. It’s about a fundamental shift – learned through doing – that has led to the discovery of a whole new way of relating to the underserved world.

It’s about empowering the underserved to be responsible for their own futures while simultaneously extinguishing dependency.
