What we do

UTPMP uses a three-stage method to achieve long-

term, sustainable change in the social structure. At the

core of our approach is a focus on empowering the

poorest sector of the society, insuring that beneficiaries

become the main protagonists of the process. To do

this, we rely on the involvement of thousands of

volunteers who work hand-in-hand with families living

in slums, fighting for the common goal of eradicating

extreme poverty.
