Just Small Change

Growing livelihoods, overcoming poverty, one small step at a time.

   

'Overcoming poverty is not an act of charity, it is an act of justice'*

Our mission:

To enable the very poor in developing countries to build their own pathway out of poverty.

Our work:

Working through partner organisations in developing countries, we work to improve the livelihoods of those in vulnerable rural and urban communities.

 *Nelson Mandela 

 

 

 

 OUR PATRON

Bishop Terence Drainey, Bishop of Middlesbrough, is our Patron. Bishop Drainey spent six years working in Kisumu, Kenya, where one of our project has been based, and fully understands the challenges faced by the poor in sub-Saharan Africa. Here is his comment on Just Small Change:

'Here is an organisation which can help at grassroots level and which can turn one’s kind and good intentions into concrete and practical reality...I encourage you to support Just Small Change in whatever way you can, because with the help of this organisation, you can make such a difference.'
