Registered charity 1097858 · since 2003peopleagainstpoverty.com·Haiti, India, Malawi, Romania, Tanzania, United Kingdom·Updated 30 October 2026

Key takeaways

People against Poverty funds projects that help people find a way out of poverty, delivered through local partners, and its themes are poverty relief and self-sufficiency, so work with those aims is the closest fit.
Its priority areas are Haiti, India, Malawi, Romania, Tanzania and the UK, and the annual report gives no grants figure or grant range, so the size of a realistic request cannot be judged from the sources and should be raised with the charity before a figure is set.
No way to apply is published, so the first step is to contact the charity directly and ask how it takes approaches.
The charity stresses close collaboration with project partners and has a charity manager who works directly with them, so a proposal built around a clear local partner is likely to suit it.
No exclusions are stated.
