Christians caring for creation and cutting poverty in half
 A Global Challenge

Poverty and
environmental
destruction are a cycle.

In rural communities across the globe, deforestation depletes land, reduces crop yields, and deepens poverty. Families are forced to choose between feeding their children or preserving their environment. It's a cycle, but it can be reversed.

Faith

Plant With Purpose restores relationships between people,
with land, and with God by forming Purpose Groups.
Purpose Groups are also a savings and lending platform, creating new income opportunities and pathways out of poverty.
Purpose Groups are a Farmer Field School, where members learn and practice regenerative agriculture in a peer-to-peer setting.
Purpose Groups plant trees to restore ecosystems, stop erosion, and protect water sources.​​​
​Purpose Group members grow spiritually through mutual support and partnerships with local churches.
