The first actually social club
Where every memeber is a step to a more equal and promising world for the families trapped in the poverty trap.
THE PROBLEM
In Colombia, more than 8 million people (about half the population of New York) must survive with less than 4 dolars daily. This means they are in monetary poverty.
DANE Monetary Poverty Report, April 2021
2.8 MILLION OF THEM ARE ADULT WOMEN
We´re not millionaires, we´re just truly committed friends!
At the 1% Club we discovered that donating 1% of our monthly income is a superpower to eradicate poverty.

Really?
We created a social startup
that associates friends to make a monthly financial
contribution to people who are in poverty.

What
do we do?
We take Colombian women out of the poverty trap with an unconditional monetary boost (EMI) of 300,000 pesos for 3 years. Without paperwork, whitout barriers.
How
do we do it?
Accompanied by foundations, we select women with high potential to multiply their opportunities and have a better quality of life for themselves, their families and their community. In addition to psychosocial orientation, education and an ecosystem of opportunities.
Why
do we do it?
We firmly believe that all the people of our planet deserve to have a basic means of living, and for us it is only logical to start with the people who live in poverty.
By only investing 1% of GDP, the United States could lift its entire population out of poverty

Why a club?
We have a common identity,
an idea and a common purpose.
We are a committed community to the mission of empowering people seeking to break the chains of economic disadvantage. Our strength doesn´t come from wealth, but from unity. We turn your 1% into an engine of change.
