Without opportunities for stable income, life can become focused only on survival. It isn’t wondering how to pay for school, but rather wondering how to get enough food. The inability to work and save is more, too: it eats away at God-given dignity.

Around the world,

• More than 700 million people live in extreme poverty, which means less than $1.90 USD a day
• Poverty is multidimensional and has a generational impact
• High poverty rates are often found in small, fragile and conflict-affected countries

NCM partners with local churches to equip individuals and families to interrupt the cycle of poverty—and to enable parents to provide for their children with God-given dignity—through job skills training, savings groups, small business support, and agricultural support.
