Poverty is a world-wide phenomena that as entrepreneurs, you have a unique position to alleviate. Paying your workers a living wage, providing reimbursement or incentives for childcare as well as adequate leave, vacation time and access to resources for development are staples to success. You are not just attempting to alleviate poverty, you are creating incentive for a productive worker, which equals success and wealth for your business. Start from what you can do and work your way from there. Perhaps you cannot have a lot of vacation time to start off with, but you can offer better benefits by way of the living wage and links to services that can provide affordable childcare that may be available to your workers in exchange for a traded good that you can easily provide.
