Our Goals
Five goals for grassroots social transformation
We work with the big picture in mind, Peace Through Prosperity’s purpose and work fulfills many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. These goals are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, addressing the challenges people face globally.
We believe that, through grassroots action, we can bring about social transformation and improve entire societies from the bottom-up for marginalised communities that exist within them.
The five goals
What each one means in practice
To End Poverty in All Its Forms Everywhere
Peace Through Prosperity’s programmes are proven to grow the net profit of participating micro-entrepreneurs by an average of 85% across numerous types of micro businesses. We have demonstrated improved financial gains and the creation of further employment opportunities within impoverished communities.
This figure is a weighted average across 974 mini-MBA participants over 7 cohorts in Pakistan and Egypt, 2012 to 2022. The Yemen cohort (2019 to 2021) is reported separately, given the wartime conditions during that period.
To Promote Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth, Employment and Decent Work for All
Peace Through Prosperity promotes inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all through our mini-MBA, coaching and mentoring programmes as well as our community building workshops.
To Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls
Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Our programmes are gender neutral and proven to improve the environment within households in marginalised communities.
To Promote Just, Peaceful and Inclusive Societies
The UN states that the rule of law and development have a significant interrelation and are mutually reinforcing, making it essential for sustainable development at all levels. Peace Through Prosperity operates by upskilling individualistic groups through the understanding that small groups can transform larger societies.
To Revitalise the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development
Our open source model is designed to foster and build on partnerships to scale across multiple geographies, we nurture local partnerships, provide our partners with our programmes, materials, training and ongoing support so that they can effectively implement our programmes in their local communities.
Aligned to the Global Goals
Our five goals map directly onto the UN Sustainable Development Goals: 1 no poverty, 5 gender equality, 8 decent work and economic growth, 16 peace, justice and strong institutions, and 17 partnerships for the goals.
Where to next
How grassroots social transformation turns into work
The method behind all five goals is set out under our approach. The programmes that carry it are our programmes: the mini-MBA for micro-entrepreneurs and Numu for young community leaders. What they have produced so far is on the impact page.
The partnership goal is not a statement of intent. Our programmes, materials and training are free to take and run under Steal Our Stuff, and we support anyone who does. To start a chapter in your own community, get in touch.
