OUR MISSION
At Acts we have a specific focus on Poverty. Poverty is brokenness, it is a state of lacking; tangibly and intangibly. For people to overcome all forms of poverty is to be able to live life as we are fully intended to live it.
That’s why to help make our vision a reality, we know that our specific mission is to Empower People to End Poverty.
Poverty exists when one of the relationships we were created to enjoy becomes broken.
-
These are our relationships with:
-
how we connect with the world around us and the resources it provides
-
how we view, relate to and look after ourselves
-
how we relate with other people around us
-
how we connect with our creator, or for those without faith, how we connect with that sense of purpose; why am I here?
To end poverty is to help people to restore these relationships. More often than not, these relationships are intrinsically linked, so to be effective in our mission we need to support people holistically, which often means not just focusing on the obvious issues, but digging down and helping people to understand root causes and wider issues around poverty.
