Change is possible, and it's happening! Hi John

Poverty is a human-made phenomenon. Just as we have gathered immense wealth, we have created great poverty.

The causes of poverty in every country are deeply rooted in a global system, which has been programmed over thousands of years to benefit the richest and most powerful.

Although the causes of poverty are complex, the fact that they were programmed by humans gives us hope.

It means they are solvable and changeable – it means we can work to reprogramme the system to prioritise people rather than profit. This is why we campaign for policy change [[link removed]], as well as working with communities and governments around the world to improve health and tackle injustice together.

Change for the better is happening all over the world.

From the indigenous women demanding their rights in Guatemala to the health workers bringing malaria treatment to the most remote areas of Cambodia [[link removed]]where no alternative care is offered, we see this steady change in the incredible people we work with.

In solidarity with these community activists, we provide support in all the ways we can. We want to see holistic change. Both from the ground up and by tackling the structural issues.

We provide medical training and supplies to strengthen health systems. We carry out policy research and campaigns [[link removed]] to change the policies that create poverty and poor health.
