What can you do?

To break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, families need to accumulate assets. Assets at the individual family level—such as a home or an education—provide a way out of poverty because they are not simply consumed: they endure and can be passed on from generation to generation. When a family owns assets, it has the means to survive economic hardship today and provide security for tomorrow. In addition, assets at the neighborhood level—permanently affordable housing or employment opportunities—are an essential part of strong and vibrant neighborhoods. By joining WANDA, you are investing in the ability of single mothers in San Mateo County to build assets that can support their own and their families’ health and economic well being—now and in the future.
