While extreme poverty is steadily declining, there are still too many people and communities without access to life’s essentials. Essentials like safe water, education, good health and nutrition.

Inequality causes poverty. From unequal income, economic opportunities and access to basic services, to the unequal impacts of climate damage.

Samaritan Foundation tackles inequality because poverty today is less a problem of scarcity but the result of how resources, opportunities and protections are distributed and wielded. Our approach to making this happen is based on decades of experience and the most effective way to change lives is to change their world – children and their families, their community and the local area.
