The 5 Fundamentals
The root causes of poverty are complex and interconnected.
At Corus, our solution is simple: we believe there are 5 FUNDAMENTALS everyone needs to move out of poverty and to thrive.
Ending poverty means everyone, everywhere has access to all 5 Fundamentals at all times.
The 5 Fundamentals to end poverty are:
- Place: A safe and sustainable environment
- Nutrition: Adequate, quality food and clean water
- Health: Essential health care, disease prevention and services tailored to all stages of life
- Knowledge: Education and access to technologies that open opportunities
- Income: The ability to earn, trade, and support one’s family and community
When we partner with families and communities to disrupt the cycle of poverty, a new cycle can take its place — a cycle of surviving, succeeding and passing it on.
By addressing urgent needs, empowering people with skills and resources, and fostering a culture of generosity and contribution, Corus creates sustainable cycles of positive change.
