Spark Projects

Bite-size, time-bound poverty-fighting ventures

At Project Possible, our response to the challenge of poverty isn’t big programmes with lofty ambitions. It’s bite-size, achievable and time-bound projects filled with possibility. We call them spark projects and here are the latest ones just waiting to get off the ground.
