Millennium Promise

Millennium Promise is a leader in the global movement to end extreme poverty. Supported by world leaders in science, business and government, our work develops and delivers high-impact programs that help some of the world’s poorest people meet their basic needs. Millennium Promise’s flagship initiative, the Millennium Villages Project, works in some of the poorest and most remote communities across sub-Saharan Africa. Through an integrated, community led approach, we help these communities implement proven, and practical interventions aimed at boosting food production, education, disease prevention and treatment, and access to safe and reliable water sources. Millennium Promise also supports African government and other organizations to replicate and expand the success of our initiatives. For example, we support the Government of Mali as it works to expand Millennium Village interventions to two million people in 166 of it poorest communes.
