A Vision of Equity and Empowerment

Joseph and Clara Community Outreach collaborates with partners, donors, and community leaders in Washington DC and globally to address the root causes of poverty. We work at the grassroots level and on the front lines to challenge longstanding harmful norms and establish a greater level of equity—especially along gender lines. We focus much of our work on women and children to break the cycle of poverty affecting each new generation. 

Four core values guide our work: 

 Integrity to do what’s right 

  Accountability to those we serve and those who support us

  Respect for every individual and community 

 Creativity in how we move towards a brighter future

From overcoming communication and technology barriers to implementing innovative funding models, JCCO constantly explores new ways to help people provide for themselves, see their children grow strong and healthy, and elevate their communities.
