Poverty affects all aspects of life, from health and well being to quality of education and the chances of getting a job. Poverty perpetuates itself when left unchallenged, trapping people and affecting subsequent generations. Poverty can be eradicated only when people and local communities build the capacity to sustain long-term change. At Church Urban Fund, we know from our 20-plus years of experience that local people with local solutions are more likely to succeed. We are risk-taking ‘first funders’, providing key financial support to help grassroots, community-based projects get started. We take a flexible, non-bureaucratic approach, recognising that individuals and communities are at different places along the path and need different kinds of support as they mature and grow.
