Our primary focus is the
alleviation of poverty.
We do this in two simple, yet fundamental ways:
by introducing sanitation and water facilities that create and maintain good health, thereby giving individuals the ability to hold down a job.
by providing the infrastructure for work.
With these two in place, the poorest people in the world can work their own way out of poverty rather than receive continual and long-lasting subsidies. We are after independence, not dependence.
