Vote for the Photo of the Month: October 2025
Our monthly photo series highlights the beauty and emotion in the lives of our clients around the world. This month, we’re featuring families across three continents who are working hard to break the cycle of poverty.
Every year on October 17, we celebrate the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. It’s a time to reflect on the progress made and the work that remains to ensure everyone can live with dignity and opportunity.
This year’s theme is “Ending social and institutional exclusion by ensuring respect and support for families.” It reminds us that poverty is never just an individual experience. Poverty shapes and challenges entire households, from parents who struggle to put food on the table to children whose futures are limited by a lack of opportunity.
Families also hold remarkable strength. Around the world, we see families pooling resources, supporting one another, and building more hopeful futures together. When given the right tools and opportunities, families can break cycles of poverty across generations.TechnoServe believes in a sustainable world where all people in low-income communities have the opportunity to prosper. We fight poverty by helping people build regenerative farms, businesses, and markets that increase incomes.
