At Education Success Foundation, we believe that education is important in breaking the cycle of poverty in families across the nation. Regardless of social, economic or ethnic background, our innovative, vocational, project-based, hands-on learning approach bridges the gaps and builds the workforce of tomorrow. You see, twenty or thirty years ago, we thought of poverty in terms of a lack of income or lack of wealth. It was almost always considered through a financial lens. Since then, however, we have come to understand that although lack of income or assets or wealth are important dimensions of poverty, this is a very partial understanding of it. Instead, these days we more holistically conceptualize poverty as a lack of choice.
