Our History
Global Poverty Solutions was founded by a small group of committed development practitioners who believed that lasting change begins with the community itself. What started as a single water project in rural Kenya has grown into a multi-sector organization touching the lives of over 10,000 people across 25+ communities.
Over the years, GPS has expanded from emergency relief into long-term, sustainable programs spanning education, healthcare, agriculture, environmental conservation, governance and human rights — always guided by the voices of the communities we serve.
