Our Approach
At the Chalmers Center, we think differently about poverty. Watch the video below to learn more:
We want to flip the script of poverty relief, moving churches and ministries from short-term handouts to lasting transformation.
-
We believe poverty is about relationships
Poverty isn’t just a lack of stuff. It’s the result of broken relationships that affect all of us—poor and non-poor alike. Real change only happens as Jesus heals these broken relationships.
-
We equip local churches and ministries
We create resources to help you understand poverty differently and equip you to love the poor in effective, biblical ways.
-
We practice what we preach.
The principles and practices in our resources are proven best practices. We’ve field-tested our ideas in the U.S. and around the world with our partners.
