Four tools proven to lift families out of extreme poverty

Millions of people worldwide live in extreme poverty — surviving on less than $2.15 per day per person. World Vision’s THRIVE (Transforming Household Resilience in Vulnerable Environments) approach to economic empowerment equips families to move out of extreme poverty and up the economic ladder. Our four sequential, evidence-based tools lead to improved incomes and resilient families.
