We are always trying to up skill our staff so that they can support our families and help break the cycle of poverty. This includes helping them support families to become financially secure – the more our social workers know about financial planning and starting business the more effective we can be! We have also help families start businesses by providing start up equipment or loans. If you can lend your expertise, you can irrevocably change a family’s life!

Raise Awareness
The best way to break the cycle of poverty is to ensure people are employed in safe workplaces and paid a fair and liveable wage. Shopping ethically made products and food has a direct impact on people’s lives! The easiest way is to shop at our online store!
However, the biggest exploitive industries are electronics, clothing, fishing, cocoa and sugarcane. There are some great resources to find ethical clothes (We recommend ‘Baptist World Aid Annual Fashion Guide’ and ‘Good for You’ app) and there are some great chocolate brands fighting to change the industry.
However, ethically made electronics and ethically harvested fish and sugarcane are harder to find. There are many campaigns you can join to demand change in how we source products from around the world and ensure transparency in how much people are paid.
