Learn About Economy

The global economy has experienced significant growth and development over the past few decades, with many positive trends indicating a brighter future for economic prosperity worldwide. According to the World Bank, the global poverty rate has decreased from 36% in 1990 to 8.6% in 2018, and the global middle class is projected to grow to 4.9 billion by 2030. Additionally, the global unemployment rate has declined from 6.1% in 2010 to 5.5% in 2021, and many countries are implementing policies to promote sustainable economic growth and reduce inequality. The digital revolution has also created new opportunities for economic growth, with e-commerce and digital services opening up new markets and creating new jobs. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in creating a more prosperous and equitable global economy, and that there is hope for a future where economic growth benefits all people, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Akhuwat USA

Akhuwat USA

One of Akhuwat’s primary deviations from conventional microfinance is that it charges no interest rates. Akhuwat has sought to base its movement on the principles of Qarz-e-Hassn found in the Islamic tradition, which entails helping someone in need with interest-free loans, a practice favored over charity and doles. While drawing on the tradition of Qarz-e-Hassn, Akhuwat has, over time, grown to incorporate many of the lessons learned from conventional microfinance movements from across the globe, as well.

Amazima Ministries

Amazima Ministries

Amazima Ministries International was founded by Katie Davis in 2008. The organization, based out of Franklin, Tennessee, feeds, educates and encourages the orphaned, poor and vulnerable in the country of Uganda. The name we chose for this ministry represented what she longed to see take root in the lives of everyone who came in contact with our ministry. In Luganda, the local language, Amazima (Ah-mah-zeemah) means “truth.” Amazima Ministries desires to reveal the truth of God’s unconditional love through Jesus Christ to the people of Uganda. We show our love for God by obeying His command to care for the least of His people and make disciples of all nations. Every outreach program of Amazima Ministries, whether education sponsorship, feeding, vocational assistance or community outreach, is accompanied by Biblical teaching and spiritual encouragement. We know that nourishing the physical needs of these people is not the ultimate goal. We long to see them fed spiritually and restored into a right relationship with God.
