I love Choice's model of ending extreme poverty by creating and promoting sustainable solutions. The efforts of Choice Humanitarian are changing lives throughout the world, and giving people real opportunities to rise out of and above poverty. I've had multiple opportunities to engage with Choice Humanitarian's headquarters and in-country staff members, and can speak for their complete commitment and love for their work. I'm grateful for the vision and work of this organization and look forward to participating in their efforts to end extreme poverty for years to come.
CHOICE's model empowers people to create their own path out of poverty by providing hand-ups rather than handouts. There model has been tested and proven over the past 37 years and is truly a sustainable approach. The model that they use gives me confidence in the organization. I went on an expedition to Bolivia and it was incredible to see that the villagers were the ones to own the water project that we worked on. Too often, I have gone on humanitarian trips and seen that it is the traveler's project, not the community's. This was not the case with CHOICE!
