From Kelli Rogers / Devex: Fundación Paraguaya is helping drastically redefine the way that poverty is identified, defined, and addressed in order to aid their ultimate goal: eliminate poverty. Through a simple, interactive, mobile-based survey called “Poverty Stoplight”, workers can self-assess their level of poverty. They are then paired with microfinance agents to develop a plan to tackle their own unique challenges, with assistance in the form of training, technology, or small loans.
