Break the Cycle of Extreme Poverty by Enabling Education
Our Mission
To break the cycle of extreme poverty by enabling education, empowering communities through practical solutions that produce concrete results.
An Effective Philosophy
Remedying the global crisis of extreme poverty and inequality calls for accountability and focused measures. By investing our resources into projects that have both an immediate impact and a long-term outlook, we aim to break the cycle of crisis by providing a framework for sustainable benefits while addressing the root causes of extreme poverty.
SVQF engages in tangible philanthropy in that we provide practical solutions that produce concrete results.
Although we believe that education is at the core of the well-being and success of communities, we also believe that communities cannot focus on education when families are unable to meet basic needs such as:
Adequate nutrition
Safe, clean water
Access to basic health services
Livelihoods that can generate an income to meet these basic needs
Through close partnerships with reputable organizations that have proven track records and expertise, SVQF provides comprehensive, multi-faceted means of overcoming these critical problems so that families can be healthy and children can learn.
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice...the protection of fundamental human rights...Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is people who have made poverty and tolerated poverty, and it is people who will overcome it.”
— Nelson Mandela
