The Voices of Prosperity Initiative

As part of Prosper Global’s Voices of Prosperity Initiative, we asked one question, in 15 languages, across 6 countries—including in Syria, where Mohamed and his daughter returned home after being displaced to find their community cut off from water.

What does it mean to prosper?

That's the question we asked more than 1,100 people living through conflict, climate change, and economic hardship. Their answers might surprise you.

A new perspective on prosperity

Prosperity looks different in every community. We don’t decide what it means. We work toward solutions that help people prosper on their own terms. This is our Voices of Prosperity Initiative—an ongoing commitment to listen, learn and share community member perspectives.

Our flagship report sets the foundation, challenging assumptions and redefines what progress looks like. Hear firsthand from people— across six countries and four continents—about what it means to prosper, what stands in the way, and what it will take to move beyond survival.

If you believe people deserve more than barely enough–join us. Let’s build a world where everyone has the opportunity to prosper.
