Our Mission
At Uproot Poverty, our success is grounded in one overriding priority—meeting the progressive needs of those individuals who cannot help themselves. I am a firm believer that no one deserves to live in agony and pain just because they are poor. Big or small, everyone has a right to live a better, happier, and healthier life. Uproot delivers and fills that bridge gap by lifting their miseries and providing hope for a better life, but one by one.
Uproot supports the lives of the refugee community through social services and promotes the education, health, culture, and socio-economic development needs in Virginia, Maryland & Washington DC.
Our mission is to provide monetary assistance for education, medical, and monthly ration after beneficiaries are verified through our volunteers worldwide.
