Poverty is the product of broken systems that prevent people from realizing their full potential. Beating poverty means making those systems work.

EWB is doing exactly that. We invest in people—smart systems changers, and we incubate the systemic innovations that they create to accelerate rural African development. It’s not about projects. It’s not about technology. It’s about people working with people to create lasting, scalable change that unlocks human potential.
