Disrupting poverty
through market-driven collective action
PURPOSE
Designed to thrive
We are all designed to thrive. Yet poverty is holding back hundreds of millions across the globe. Poverty is a complex problem that requires collaborative, multidisciplined, and replicable solutions. We work to build those solutions.
Who we are
We are a collective impact platform that mobilizes the best of business, local leadership, non-profit, and government to build effective solutions to poverty. We are part enablers. Part doers. Part laboratory of new ideas.
OUR FORMULA
Promote human flourishing
By first engaging local community members and finding intersecting alignment with the interests of marketplace actors, the unique talents of various non-profits, and then governments (in that order), we create a sustainable success sequence that over time turns into movements that advance flourishing communities across the globe.
1. MARKET DRIVEN
2. LOCALLY LED
3. GLOBALLY RESOURCED

Hats off 🎓🎓🎓to the community of San Rafael de Abangares, which this week graduated a class of 17 volunteers who will lead San Rafael's first-ever fully community-led Camp in July!
This week's graduation marks a historic milestone for San Rafael and for Camp in Costa Rica. Over the first three years Camp is held in a community, the community takes increasing ownership of the program; as they enter their fourth year, the community takes full leadership. San Rafael is our first community to enter their fourth year and take their seat at the helm.
San Rafael's Camp will be led by a coalition of experienced leaders and young, energetic volunteers, who themselves were campers just a couple years ago. We are excited to cheer San Rafael on as they pour into the next generation of their community, and are grateful to our incredible partners @winshapecamps who have made Camp possible!

Hope & Light. Two profound gifts we need more of. We met these two elementary students in Guatemala last month. Despite tough circumstances their hope for a brighter future is undeterred. The day we visited the school was cloudy—but as we entered the sun came out and shined through just as we snapped this photo. May you brighten someone’s day this weekend. May you give hope to the next generation. #hope #light #disruptpoverty #thriveworx #sustainabledevelopment #togethercultivatinggood
As we continue to invest more deeply in local leader networks and bolster program strategy in Costa Rica, we are thrilled to welcome Franklin Tórrez-Ruiz as our Costa Rica Country Manager.
A resident of Costa Rica, Franklin grew up in Nicaragua and studied at Zamorano, one of Central America's most esteemed agricultural universities. Franklin leads with warmth, humility, and strength, and his experience in program strategy and development will be a tremendous asset to our mission of building a flourishing world. Welcome to the team, Franklin!
