About YGAP
YGAP is an International Development not-for-profit with an innovative approach to poverty alleviation. They support local impact entrepreneurs with solutions to local problems in some of the world’s toughest communities. Rather than imposing their perceived solutions on a foreign community, they support the local leaders who live there and have developed their own. They believe the best solutions are entrepreneurial, and focus on early stage ventures that exist to improve access to education or healthcare, create jobs or build safer homes. They believe this is the most effective, sustainable means of tackling poverty because these local leaders understand the unique challenges of their communities. YGAP’s role is to help refine and scale their solutions.

About Polished Man
YGAP’s Polished Man is an innovative fundraising campaign that challenges men to paint one nail to represent the 1 in 5 children that experience violence globally. CEO and Co-Founder of YGAP, Elliot Costello launched this powerful movement after meeting 10-year-old Thea who drew a heart in his hand and painted his fingernails in Cambodia. While a seemingly average child, Thea suffered physical and sexual abuse at the hands of a pedophile for two years while at a ‘safe house’ where she was taken after her father passed away. You can view more about her story here.
