Billions of dollars are spent on aid to Africa, often with negligible or negative results. Aid breeds dependence and corruption.

At Eliminate Poverty NOW we focus on empowerment. We provide people with education, skills and opportunity to make sustainable change through their own initiative and hard work. By focusing on women, we greatly improve their quality of life and the lives of their families and communities.

Our trusted partners in Africa bring a deep understanding of local needs, experience and contacts. They champion project implementation.

We take a business-like approach to get the most from every dollar. We start small, measure results, and only expand projects that create positive, sustainable change.

Over 2,000 years ago the famous Jewish scholar Hillel asked, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am for myself only, then what am I? And if not now, when?”

We can serve a greater purpose than our own individual good, and there is no better time to start than now. Together we can improve the lives of thousands around us and make this world a better place.

The EPN team is a unique combination of professionals from all parts of this world with an expertise that contributes greatly to our cause.
