About Global Poverty Solutions

Our Story

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.

Our Mission

To alleviate poverty through sustainable community development, humanitarian support, education, healthcare, environmental conservation, advocacy, and empowerment programs.

Our Vision

A world where every individual has equal opportunities to live with dignity, access basic needs, and realize their full potential.

Our Objectives

To build resilient, self-reliant communities through participatory programs that address root causes of poverty, not just symptoms.
