Charity Redefined is confronts conventional ideas of charity and development by showcasing a model built on empowering women, maintaining dignity, and partnering with local leaders solving local problems using local solutions.
Through exclusive access to SowHope’s partners and field work, the film redefines how to combat poverty in the developing world—not through handouts or funder-led initiatives, rather local leader ownership, empowerment, and sustainability.
Charity Redefined is a feature-length documentary, with a run time of 86 minutes.
“Money is only one form of power. Just because you fund it, doesn't mean you know it.”
