CapCon Foundation

Our Mission To eradicate poverty through economically sustainable, market-based initiatives which improve the lives & livelihoods of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Our Values We must help: we can (and should) work to increase the well-being of the most vulnerable populations. We must begin at birth: we want to live in a world where every child has access to basic healthcare, a quality education, and economic security. We must equalize opportunity: all adults should have a chance to find a rewarding livelihood through access to markets. Markets provide the best tool: market-based innovation and entrepreneurship are the best way to get this work done. Markets aren’t perfect: governments and other non-market based actors play a critical role in facilitating success through advocacy, policy, rule of law, and security. Our Focus Health Care Access to basic health care enhances opportunity by treating curable diseases as well as timely treatment of injury and trauma. Income Enhancement Creating a culture of entrepreneurship, combined with access to capital, will provide well paying jobs and increase opportunity for all. Education Education provides a foundation for prosperity by creating a skilled workforce, which in turn attracts investment and opportunity. Product Innovation Access to labor and energy-saving devices at affordable prices can make a huge difference in quality of life for many marginalized populations.
