GLOBAL TRIBE - REINVENTING THE WAR ON POVERTY - IT BEGAN WITH A QUESTIONWHY ARE THEIR SO MANY CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY?HERE IS THE ANSWER! It is because there are so many single mothers, abused, abandoned, or widowed, left to raise children on about $1 a day - for the whole family! 900 million single mothers worldwide, earning just $1 a day. The reality is, rescue a single mother and you rescue her children. Seven out of 10 children live in a single mother home. Cesar Uribe, our partner in Tecate, Mexico operates the Children's Miracle Home, for orphans. Cesar mentioned 400 single moms living below the poverty level near the home. That raised the question in our mind about the most effective approach to fighting poverty.REINVENTING THE WAR ON POVERTY Since 1992, Global Tribe has been in the business of helping children trapped in poverty, in Asia, India, Mexico, Romania, and beyond. The war on poverty is ongoing, and we are called to step up the fight. To help impoverished children we are going to the source of their crisis. This expanded vision is truly an expansion of the work we have always done. Re-focused.The result of our prayerful consideration is God's expansion of what we do, helping children living in poverty by rescuing their single mother and their siblings. The New Faces of Global TribeWe have identified over 400 single mothers and their children down in Tecate just one section of the war-zone on the Mexican border. This was the beginning of a new focus! We realized that 81% of global poverty is among this suffering group - 900 million single mothers globally, trying to raise their kids on next to nothing.The Global Tribe Metaphor You have heard the saying, "Give a mother a fish and you will feed her for a day, teach her how to fish and you will feed her for a life-time". Global Tribe takes this a step further, not only teaching her to fish, but also providing the micro-loan needed to purchase a fishing rod and a bike so she can transport her fish to market. In this way we give her a hand-up, not a hand-out, stabilizing and establishing the single mother and her family for life, giving her the independence, dignity, and security she deserves. It is said, that it takes a village to raise a child; so Global Tribe in partnership with world class leaders, and the mothers themselves, are focused on developing sustainable communities, with safe homes, clean drinking water, agriculture, education and the economic engine of micro-enterprise lending, kick-starting new business, the life-blood of a sustainable future.THE MISSIONGlobal Tribe Creed: To safeguard the helpless and do them no harm; to show courage on behalf of those who can't defend themselves. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress... From the very beginning, Global Tribe was birthed out of a passion to bring aid, relief, and sustainability for the poorest of the poor - widows and orphans. This mission is executed in three distinct ways:1. Providing emergency relief for those in peril and critical distress, stabilizing the person to enable them to grow to individual sustainability; the primary focus is single mothers and their children.2. Providing training and education to the poor, especially single mothers, teaching them a vocation, life skills, and hygiene, which lays the foundation for sustainability. Moreover, once trained, equipping the individual through micro-loans to accomplish what they are trained to do to earn a living.3. Providing both the environment and the substance to teach leadership through life experience as well as mentoring, teaching thinking and reasoning skills, and strategies for effective leadership.
