Poverty Eradication Strategies

Sustainable Alleviation

Holistic Path Out of Intergenerational Poverty

Four Pillars of Poverty Eradication

Human Capital: TVETA certified vocational technical education.
Natural Capital: Organic composting, planting bags & clean water.
Financial Capital: Microfinance savings & micro-credit loans.
Social Capital: Cooperative Kolping Family networks.

Empirical Household Transformation

Over 90% of Kolping Family members report increased household income, improved family nutrition, and enhanced ability to pay school fees within 2 years of joining the movement.
