(Verified non-profit organisation)

emerge poverty free was founded in 1995 as World Emergency Relief. The name change in 2011 reflects the evolving mission of the charity which is to break the cycle of poverty by enabling communities to address their needs and priorities themselves. We work in 13 countries, supporting 38 projects throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Central America and the Caribbean. emerge poverty free works with locally led organisations, empowering them to take action themselves so that they can continue to fight poverty long after our support has moved on.

We provide cash grants direct to local partners, and we supplement those grants by shipping donations such as medicines, food, equipment and clothing and we provide organisational capacity building.
