We empower orphaned children and vulnerable youth with the solutions to move beyond extreme poverty - for good. Zoe Empowers disrupts cycles of poverty among vulnerable youth through a three-year, peer-led program in which participants help one another become safe and healthy, skilled for long-term success, and able to lead meaningful lives within a supportive community. By investing in local, indigenous leaders in seven countries, our distinctive, holistic model provides the vital relationships, training, and resources to empower young participants to become secure, healthy, and connected community members. This three-year empowerment program not only solves the core issues of extreme poverty, but the problems of recipient dependency and donor frustration as well. Zoe Empowers is leading this growing family-based movement by actively sharing and equipping other NGOs, foundations and governments to adopt this successful, participant centric, empowerment model.
