Our underlying principles upon which the organisation is founded are to work in unity and partnership with the four main pillars of society: (a) the local church; (b) local community organisations; (c) central & local government; and (d) local businesses to provide true and lasting transformational change to the lives of families and individuals who are trapped in the misery of a life of poverty.
A healthy society benefits everyone - not just the poor. And all sections that go to make up a society have a responsibility in helping create a fair and healthy society for all.
It is widely accepted that there are five pathways to poverty:
The reversal of these interconnected pathways is integral to tackling poverty and broaden the debate beyond the simple redistribution of wealth.
The Matthew Tree Project is working tirelessly in a creative and innovative way to address the five pathways to poverty that will have a sustainable and long lasting effect.
The Matthew Tree Project is an independent faith based charity underpinned by Matthew 25 vs 31-46, Mark 12 vs 28-31, and James 2 vs 14-17.
