Legacy Wealth Program, Poverty Solutions in the Capital Market

A Generational Wealth Initiative by the Economic Growth and Development Center (Economic Center)

About the Program

Legacy Wealth is a bold poverty eradication initiative designed to connect low-income people, such as students, traders, transport workers, farmers, and other economically disadvantaged groups, to the wealth-creating power of the capital market. This is not just a program, it is a movement to end poverty by building generational wealth and dismantling the cycle of economic exclusion.

Capital is the key to ending poverty and now, the poor will finally have a seat at the wealth creation table. Give your children and future generations a head start in building lasting wealth.

Why Legacy Wealth Matters: Understanding the Difference

Many individuals remain trapped in poverty because of a knowledge gap in effective income and financial growth strategies. At the heart of the Legacy Wealth Program is a commitment to changing this. Most people don’t save because they believe they earn so little. Fortunately, many save, even though often for consumption (marriage, travel, clothes, ceremonies, etc), putting their money in the bank, which is a good practice because it is better than not saving at all.

However, savings at financial institutions may even produce negative real interest rates because the prevailing inflation rate may be higher than the nominal interest rate received on the deposit. In contrast, investing in the capital market can be a game-changer. It involves putting your money to work in long-term financial investments for promoting future financial security for you and your family. This is the foundation for the Legacy Wealth vision, where guided financial investments should result in much better future returns than saving at a financial institution. Investing in the capital market empowers people to shift from the fear of a hopeless financial future to the anticipation of increased generational prosperity.

If you believe Legacy Wealth matters, then you are a Poverty Eradication Promise Keeper. You have promised to fight and end generational poverty. With you, poverty is history. All participants in the Legacy Wealth Program are poverty eradication promise keepers, and all those who steadfastly support through matching funds or other means are Poverty Eradication Promise Keeper Heroes. If they are widely and consistently known in their support and encouragement, then they are Poverty Eradication Promise Keeper Champions.
