"As we enter 2015, TRICKLE UP IS MAKING DRAMATIC PROGRESS in the fight to eradicate extreme poverty." |
How do you measure success?
There are the things you can count. The number of people we’ve helped start businesses, save for the first time in their lives, and increase their families’ standard of living. New funders added. New projects initiated. Awards won. And there are the things you can’t count. You just have to listen. “I am not an educated lady,” explained Surekha Toppo to us last October, as we sat beneath a shady tree in Jharsugauda, her rural village in India. “But my children will go to school and they will ride a bike. This is dignity to me.” Other women in a nearby village spoke enthusiastically about how their Trickle Up savings groups successfully secured a community day care center, road improvements, and greater access to a local hospital: “Now we have a voice and we use it!”
