This video illustrates what life is like for two families living in extreme poverty in northeast India. These families are currently participating in the Trickle Up program, which is designed to help people help themselves out of extreme poverty. Trickle Up has launched a project with support from the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor to help 300 women like the ones you see here take their first steps out of poverty. With grants of livestock, training, savings support, and guidance on health, sanitation, and nutrition, these participants are expected to graduate out of extreme poverty and become eligible for additional financial services such as microloans. After two years, Trickle Up expects that each participant will have access to more capital, a safe means to save, safe drinking water, a sanitary latrine, fruit-bearing trees, and will be able to send their children to school. This footage was recorded before the families began the Trickle Up program. Stay tuned for more episodes as we track the families’ progress over time. www.trickleup.org Video Rating: 5 / 5
