Learn About Poverty

While poverty remains a major challenge worldwide, there have been many positive developments in recent years. According to the World Bank, the global poverty rate fell from 36% in 1990 to 8.6% in 2018, with more than one billion people lifted out of extreme poverty. Many countries have implemented effective poverty reduction strategies, such as investing in education and healthcare, promoting economic growth, and providing social safety nets for the most vulnerable. There has also been a growing recognition of the importance of ending poverty as a key sustainable development goal, with governments, businesses, and civil society organizations working together to address poverty and inequality. In addition, there has been a shift towards more inclusive and participatory approaches to poverty reduction, with marginalized communities and individuals being empowered to take an active role in shaping policies and programs that affect their lives. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in the fight against poverty, and that there is hope for a more equitable and prosperous future for all.

Tulsa Hub

Tulsa Hub

Tulsa Hub is a syndicate of volunteers, and a growing staff, on a mission to change lives through cycling. It is the only non-profit in Oklahoma providing certified bicycling-for-transportation education, refurbished bicycles, safety gear, and follow-up support to people in poverty, people with physical and mental disabilities, and people who are otherwise disenfranchised in our community. Tulsa Hub is the belief in human power made visible. Bikes are donated by Tulsa citizens and refurbished by Tulsa Hub staff and volunteer mechanics. After participants, complete training, bicycles, and safety gear are earned in the Adult Cycling Empowerment (A.C.E.) program. The mission also works to change the habits of the next generation through active transportation programs with middle-school and high-school students. Since our inception in 2008, we have helped more than 1,800 adults earn reliable transportation and given more than 2,500 bicycles to students in our Youth Programs. The Community Bike Workshop, open Tuesdays through Thursdays, offers low-cost bicycle repair and equipment to over 1,000 additional riders annually. Over 70% of ACE alumni continue building relationships with us and "give back" through volunteerism with Tulsa Hub and have reported using their bikes to get a job, go back to school, get their groceries and run their errands, get to church and into nature, and otherwise make moves toward improved self-reliance, dignity, and sense of opportunity.
