Poverty ends where work begins.
work.charity gives people a real, verifiable skill and helps them into the work that follows. Not sympathy. Not handouts. A way to earn, and the dignity that comes with it.
We don't want to manage poverty. We want to end it.
Aid keeps people alive. A skill makes them independent. work.charity backs the second one, everywhere it is needed, because a person with a trade doesn't need charity next year. They have a livelihood, and they can lift the people around them too.
The gap isn't willingness. It's opportunity.
Across the world, hundreds of millions of people are ready to work but have never had access to a marketable skill, a recognised credential, or an employer who could reach them. The result is talent left idle and families left stuck.
Give someone a skill the market wants, and the way out builds itself.
Learn it. Prove it. Get to work.
One simple loop, run to a high standard and repeated at scale. It is the same loop in every chapter, adapted to the trades each local economy is actually hiring for.
Learn a real trade
Free vocational training in skills the local market is genuinely hiring for, taught by people who do the work.
Earn a Skill Passport
A verified credential that tells an employer exactly what a person can do, and that they were assessed to prove it.
Get to work
Job placement, employer introductions, and the starter tools or support needed to begin earning.
Proof a person can carry anywhere.
Most people in poverty have skills no employer can see and no document can vouch for. The Skill Passport fixes that: an assessed, verifiable record of what someone can actually do, owned by them and recognised across every chapter. It is issued in collaboration with WorkOfficially, so it carries weight with real employers, not just inside the programme.
Where we're taking it.
work.charity is global by design. These are the chapters forming now, each running the same skills-to-work model, tuned to local trades and employers.
The same loop, tuned to the trades US employers are hiring for. We're looking for partners and employers to open it.
Skills-first training and a portable credential, built with UK employers and community partners.
Young, vast, and ready to work. We want partners on the ground to bring the model to communities across the continent.

We're not asking for your money.
work.charity takes no public donations. What moves this forward is people: someone to learn, someone to teach, and someone who can open a door. Pick the one that's you.
You want a skill
For yourself, or for someone you know who is ready to work and just needs the training and the credential to get there.
You know a trade
Tradespeople, trainers, and mentors who can pass on what they know and help assess the Skill Passport.
You can open a door
Employers who can hire, and companies, foundations, and institutions who can host, fund, or scale a cohort.
Give us your skill, your time, or a door you can open. That is what ends poverty.
Started by someone who knows the way out.
Imamsab Mulla, known as Imzzy, founded work.charity after years spent building WorkOfficially, a platform that connects people to work. He has seen up close that poverty is rarely a lack of effort. It is a lack of access: to a skill worth paying for, to a credential an employer will trust, to a door that opens.
work.charity is his attempt to fix that at the root, starting in India with Garibi and built to travel from there.
"I've spent my career getting people into work. This is the same fight, for the people who never got a fair shot at it."
