Mission statement:	Trickle Up empowers people living on less than $1.90 a day to take the first steps out of poverty, providing them with resources to build microenterprises for a better quality of life. In partnership with local agencies, INGOs, and governments, we offer enterprise training and seed capital to launch or expand a microenterprise and generate savings support to build assets. Trickle Up believes in people and their capacity to make a difference. We empower the world's poorest people to develop their potential and strengthen their communities. We pursue this goal in a way that encourages innovation and leadership, maximizes resources, and promotes communication and cooperation among all Trickle Up constituencies. Trickle Up is seeking to scale its impact through partnerships and reach exponentially greater numbers of the extreme poor.
