At PYP, it is our belief that we need more than just compassion to help alleviate poverty. We must fully understand the challenges and address them with meaningful and relevant solutions. Our trauma-sensitive approach takes into account the holistic growth of each person, with equal importance put on earning a living wage and reducing the daily suffering caused by chronic stress. We offer mentoring/accountability partners and workshops free of charge to our program participants, and rely on a strong team of committed volunteers.
