Thankyou is a social enterprise, we bring consumers a product choice that exists for one purpose only; to help create a world where not one person lives in extreme poverty.
Why? We live in a world of extremes. Thankyou exists to bridge two of them. Right now, there are approximately 736 million people stuck in extreme poverty. With many dying daily, simply because they lack access to basics for their health, education and living standards. The funding gap to end extreme poverty by 2030 is estimated at US$2.5 trillion dollars a year. Meanwhile, consumer spending totals around US$63 trillion a year.
This injustice is fed by a broken system. We believe that to change the world, we must change this system. Together, remake it.
Our mission; amplifying impactful change-makers to better serve people living in extreme poverty by redistributing wealth from consumer spending.
Together, we've raised over $17 million to fund impactful change-makers around the world. We've only just begun.
