Venture 2 Impact, exists to help communities globally break the cycle of poverty. Our approach to development takes more than just material poverty into account. We address issues of isolation, vulnerability, powerlessness, physical weakness, among other forms of poverty. We aspire to create an environment where local communities and our volunteers can grow. Our Mission: To transform individuals, families and communities out of poverty into lasting well-being. Since our inception, volunteer trips have been an integral part of our work. Our volunteers travel to work on projects in partnership with communities in Africa, South America, and Asia annually. Through our volunteer program, we’ve been able to start a micro-lending program for farmers, help scale a women’s only coop, build homes, schools and orphanages, and facilitate English and computer education – to name a few initiatives. Venture 2 Impact aims to break the cycle of poverty with a focus on the three E’s model: Education, Empowerment, and Economic Development. We believe that through initiatives in these three areas, we are able to bring individuals out of poverty and into lasting well-being. While our initiatives within each category ebb and flow based on local needs, solutions, and opportunities, these pillars are the strong foundation to all the work that Venture 2 Impact does.
