We can build a world where families thrive, not just survive.

THRIVE stands for Transforming Household Resilience in Vulnerable Environments. A community-driven initiative guiding families from survival to stability, confidence, and opportunity. THRIVE helps people take control of their futures — building thriving households and, in time, thriving communities.

Extreme poverty is more than a lack of income; it’s also a lack of opportunity, access, and support. But the THRIVE initiative addresses the root causes of poverty, walking alongside families as they build a new path, for themselves, and their communities.

When you give to THRIVE you’re investing in the potential to create lasting change for families and their communities. Your Gift will be MATCHED.*

*For every $1 USD committed to the THRIVE program overseas, a generous donor will match gifts up to $10M USD or until Nov 26, 2026, whatever comes first.
