We do this through partnering with grass-roots organizations in the developing world to create systems that will help them become self-sustaining. We see the scourge of poverty as multi-faceted and systemic and therefore needing a multi-faceted response: economic, social, physical, educational, psychological, and spiritual.

Gate OneSeventeen is a small and lean organization that boasts one of the lowest overhead costs in our industry. We are proud of what we have been able to do on a shoe string budget that focuses on long term sustainability rather than short term fixes.
