The Need -- and How We Help

​

Global poverty affects millions

  • More than 600 million people around the world lived on less than $2.15 a day in 2022

  • One in five young children in low-income countries don't attend school

  • The early-childhood death rate in poor countries is nearly 10 times that of wealthy countries

  • Inadequate nutrition stunts the growth of more than 100 million children in Africa and Asia​

Gaps persist in the global development system

  • International organizations invest billions of dollars to reduce poverty and mitigate its effects -- Yet, vast needs remain

  • Grassroots groups offer solutions to local needs -- But often lack resources and visibility to tap sources of support

  • Development institutions seek to increase funding for local organizations -- Find it difficult to reach smaller groups

  • Individuals everywhere are prepared to engage on global challenges -- But lack an obvious entry point

Acting Globally addresses gaps. Reduces barriers to entry

  • We support early-stage groups that development institutions may struggle to reach

  • Build on the strengths of grassroots groups -- Assist them to grow their impact

  • Help global aid agencies meet their "localization" targets

  • Allow globally-minded people to impact world needs -- Contributing directly, gaining knowledge of global challenges
