Giving a hand up (not a handout) to the poorest families on the Thai/Burmese border
UPLift--Poverty Alleviation For The Ultra-Poor
UPLift is a program designed to empower communities on the Thai/Burmese border that lack food security, opportunities for income, and education. Through the use of small grants and skills trainings, these families receive the opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty without having to rely on external aid indefinitely.
