How to Apply
Global Action on Poverty (GAP) invites applications from individuals who are working on a powerful initiative to eradicate poverty, or making a deep impact to less advantaged people, anywhere in the world. We believe that, if NGO’s, companies, professionals, individuals all work together we can use existing resources to move people out of poverty.
