Orpe Human Rights Advocates seeks to reduce poverty sustainably by empowering marginalized communities through social entrepreneurship. This initiative will build skills, expand financial access, promote eco-friendly livelihoods, and link communities to ethical markets. It will emphasize community participation, resilience-building, and systemic transformation by addressing structural injustices. By integrating empowerment, inclusion, sustainability, and advocacy, the program aims to restore dignity, enhance agency, and enable long-term poverty alleviation.

Poverty is not merely the absence of income but the denial of opportunities, dignity, and agency. Marginalized communities often lack access to vocational skills, financial services, sustainable livelihoods, and fair-trade markets. Climate change, health crises, and systemic injustices further deepen poverty cycles. Traditional poverty alleviation approaches have sometimes fostered dependency rather than empowerment. To create systemic transformation, poverty reduction must empower communities to generate their own income, access resources, and influence decision-making structures that affect their lives.

If marginalized communities are:

• Equipped with skills and capabilities (vocational training, digital literacy, entrepreneurship),

• Connected to inclusive finance and fair trade markets,

• Engaged in eco-friendly enterprises and resilience strategies,

• Empowered to participate in decision-making and advocate for rights,​

• Then, they will achieve sustainable livelihoods, enhanced agency, and systemic transformation that breaks cycles of poverty and fosters dignity
