Overall, poverty decreased between 1991/1992 and 1998/1999 from 5107% to 39.5%. However, these figures mask incidence of growing and deepening poverty among certain social groups and localities. Our food crop farmers, who live in the rural areas, continue to endure the most of poverty in the country, as they consitute more than 59% of the poor in the country.

We agree perfectly with Mahatma Ghandi when he said, poverty is the worst form of violence and that the only way to alleviate poverty is to revive and improve on the skills of the local people. Our only aim therfore is to assist the resouce poor, the excluded, and the vulnerable to achive qualitative cahnges in their welfare.

Our stated commitment is to reduce poverty and stimulate the sustainable development of deprived communities thorugh developing hte potentials of individual members of society to advance hteir socio-economic welfare and that of their communities in ways that are culturally and environmentally sustainable.

In order to chieve total and holistic improvements in the welfare of our partners, RUDSO will work together with raual communities and deprived urban neighbouhoods to provide social and technical infrastructure. Our focus will also be on sustainable human development by means of building the capacity of civil society at the grassroots through strengthening their skills and knowledge to effect and manage change at al levels – family, local ,nation, and world.

We believe in combinbing the concept good governance and ecomonmic empowerment in the war on poverty in order that the poor can prosper in an atmosphere of freedom, juustice, and accountability. In additio nwe will advocate for he poor, vulnerable, excluded, and underpriviledged in society so that their views are well informed and well represented at al levels of government.
