Poor No More : Sustainable Solutions to Poverty in the Social Justice Era

Extreme poverty can be alleviated one village at a time. The current practices of global aid agencies, governments, and NGOs all focus on the same failed strategy: transfer payments. The problem is that moving money without growing local economic systems for sustainability does not work. People need jobs and businesses, not handouts. There is a better way. In this book you will discover how these different systems can positively work together to bring about the long-term, locally sustainable results that we all desire. This is transformational work, and we will need to pause on the rhetoric, biases, and existing structural models to engage in a different way of doing things. Donors, communities in transition, local leaders, churches, governments?all are invited to revamp our thinking to actually achieve the results that form our common goal. No one wants to be seen in a poverty state. God doesn?t create people to be poor and impoverished. He does not! God gives?generously. That is why every community around the globe already has vast, untapped resources of human talent and vision, a treasure trove of divinely bestowed potential awaiting harvest. It?s time to partner together for sustainable solutions to poverty!
