The main feature of Stop Poverty is to make all projects financially self sufficient. We accomplish this long term effect, by creating an own income for the local people, so that our aid is only of a temporary nature. In co-operation with the local communities, we eradicate poverty of the poorest families and children.

Do you have a specific goal of affinity with a project? Than we have a project that is tailored to your wishes. Please contact us and we like to discuss the possibilities.

HEART FOR THE POOR

Our motivation is for children and communities, who live in extreme poverty. Without our help, they have no future. As Nelson Mandela said: ``Erradicating poverty, is not a deed of charity, but of righteousness.`` It is a fundamental right of dignity and a decent life!

SUSTAINABILITY

Our goal is, that our projects do not need funding anymore after a number of years. Our support is focused on making the communities self sufficient, by investing in education, skill development, creating work and income through various projects. To break the circle of poverty, we need to create self sustainability.

PARTNERSHIP

We work together with local communities and authorities in consultation and planning. They contribute substantially to our projects. For the road construction of 5,4 km to our preschool in Uganda, local authorities paid 50% of the costs. Landowners have donated pieces of land to broaden the road from 2 to 4 meters.

CUSTOMIZED SPONSORING

Do you have a clear affinity or purpose with your sponsoring? Potable water, education, children, sustainability or vocational training? We can accommodate sponsors by providing a project that fits your profile and wishes. We like to work in partnership with our sponsors, in goals, transparency and accountability.

ABOUT US

Stop Poverty found its birth after an earthquake near Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2006. Irene Kruizinga worked in that area and started relief work in the village Trukan. Moreover, the vulcano Merapi erupted and left thousends of people homeless and destitute.

Together with the local population 20 houses were build and hundreds of emergency parcels were distributed among the Merapi victims in an effective and low cost way. What started as a spontanous relief work, has now developed to an efficient and professional organisation.

Our original approach had NOT changed. Donations should go to the intended beneficiaries in an efficient and sustainable way. Therefore, our first responsibility is towards our sponsors, who make our work possible!

Stop Poverty garanties, that a minimum of 95% of your donations, are spend on the intended beneficiaries.
