About this organization
Mission
Join the Journey (JTJ) is a Christian organization dedicated to alleviating poverty through economic empowerment. We provide grant funds to non-governmental organizations and churches in third-world countries who facilitate micro-lending programs that help individuals launch local businesses. We truly believe in a 'hand up, not a hand out' and have seen the impact when individuals can feed their families through successful businesses. Additionally, we provide grant funds for food aid to build community capacity and overall demonstrate compassion under the Christian tenets of our organization. We currently operate through partnerships in Haiti, the Philippines, Cameroon, and Peru.
About
Empowerment Grants - The organization partners with local churches and non-governmental organizations in third-world countries to administer empowerment programs. These programs, as administered by our partners in foreign locations, take two forms: micro-loans for individuals or grants to individuals in order for them to raise poultry/livestock for commercial sale. Additional expenses in this category include costs for oversight of the program and reporting.
