Join our giving circle. Donate today.
Poverty isn't solved by outsiders showing up with solutions. It's solved by the people living it, given the resources and trust to build their own way forward.
Donate today to stand in solidarity with Self Help Groups and invest in the communities they're already building.
Are you passionate about locally led change and want to do more?
Ignite is our giving circle, a global community of changemakers donating to fuel the work of Self Help Groups around the world as they build the life they want for themselves and their communities.
Self Help Groups are some of the most cost-effective drivers of positive change worldwide.
Members pool savings, extend credit to one another, and turn that shared trust into real outcomes: better physical and mental health, greater political participation for women, and higher household incomes that outlast any single grant cycle.

When you give through Ignite, you're not funding a program that ends when the funding does. You're backing the people best positioned to keep the work going long after.
