Poverty doesn’t vanish with slogans. It yields to strategy, discipline, and neighbors who refuse to surrender their streets. Povertycured.org exists for them—for you. It is both weapon and well: a weapon against poverty’s roots and a well of reliable knowledge you can draw from daily.
Grounded in Mark Carven Olds’ book, Poverty Is a Disease That Can Be Cured, the site organizes hard-won insight into clear, repeatable action. You’ll find community-ready playbooks, facilitator guides, training modules, and coalition templates that help ordinary people do extraordinary things: stabilize families, strengthen education pathways, expand work and enterprise, improve health, steward housing, and align justice with mercy.
Our conviction is simple: residents are the irreplaceable experts of their own neighborhoods. When equipped and connected, they become the cure—mentors, makers, employers, advocates, and healers. We provide the framework; you supply the heartbeat.
How it works:
- Learn the method—short, practical modules that fit busy lives.
- Organize a small team—start where trust already lives.
- Launch a pilot—small wins, fast feedback, honest metrics.
- Grow a coalition—faith, business, education, and civic partners around shared results.
- Repeat what works—scale by neighborhood, not by slogan.
This is not a program to watch; it’s a movement to work. It honors faith and welcomes partners across sectors. It measures what matters and refuses to confuse activity with impact. Above all, it keeps dignity at the center—because people are not projects; they are partners.
If poverty is the disease, then together we are the cure.
Start today: learn a playbook, form a team, share your story, or fund the next chapter. The future of your neighborhood is too important to outsource.
