Think Impact works to reduce poverty through its unique model of people-powered global development that focuses on the next generation of leaders. Think Impact offers college students and recent graduates the ideas, leadership and capital they need to leverage social innovation and local community resources to alleviate poverty.
What is "The Poverty Question"?
Moderate or extreme poverty burdens the lives of 3 billion people. Poverty in the global south is the legacy of centuries of narrow and immoral incentives to engage in Africa, South America, South Asia and South-Eastern Asia. Click here to learn more.
