What people are saying about Uplift and Empower

 

“Uplift and Empower combines a deeply empathic and positive outlook with a recognition of the many complications and difficulties inherent in poverty alleviation. Danielle combines moral issues and practical issues, and I think that is both rare and a very strong framework.”

"My brother and I have spent the last 30-40 years working in the humanitarian sector.

Focus on the community around you. Keep it personal, consistent, and equitable."
