Founded by two University of Texas students in Fall 2008, Nourish International- Austin Chapter's mission is to eradicate poverty by engaging students and empowering communities. We believe that many communities constrained by the cycle of poverty are highly entrepreneurial, dedicated, and determined, but lack the resources and opportunity to substantially improve their conditions. Our chapter harnesses the power of socially driven students to deliver funding, resources, and talent that helps those trapped in poverty to create a real change in the their lives. We support long term sustainable projects for impoverished communities. 

Our vision is to empower an inspiring environment of young adults who care and are socially responsible leaders of the present and future. We believe in the immense intellectual capital of students' ability to make significant contributions to challenges facing poverty stricken populations.

In 2009 we successfully completed our first International Project in Guatemala, and this past summer we returned from Chipaota, Peru! Please see our International Project pages for media, project details, and information on each of our projects.
