Learn more about Health Poverty Action

The charity considers poverty to be a man-made phenomenon - just as wealth is created by man, poverty is also created by man. Causes of poverty are complex, but the charity firmly believes that because it’s a man-made problem, it’s solvable. Part of the battle for the charity is reprogramming people to prioritise their fellow humans over profit. With the support of your free charity donations when shopping through Savoo, you can help to make this a reality.

The charity invests donations into human capital by training people in healthcare all over the world. Furthermore they also invest into vital tools to either help spread the healthcare message, as well as transporting healthcare professionals in emergencies. In fact 95% of the charity staff are from the countries where they work.
