From Poverty To Empowerment
Shipping containers with solar & food processing technology, providing an opportunity out of the desperate cycle of poverty.
Breaking the cycle of poverty takes more than just money, it takes tools and instruction.
PurposeBOX™ provides the tool and the instruction specifically tailored to each recipient.
It takes 3 groups to make this happen.
A target village or group is identified
They are accessed based on the known factors that have prevented them from breaking the cycle of poverty. Access to electricity, inability to process what they grow, limited competitive resources and people who can work with them for change.
We know that when a PurposeBOX™ is set into a village and the leaders of that group work within the community to utilize the PurposeBOX to everyone's benefit positive change happens.
An investor/group willing to support the project
Too often missions organizations or NGOs provide ongoing support that improves the daily life in a village or group but does not set them on a path to independent living. Clean water, food, education, healthcare and safety are key elements for life.
But if there is no 'work' component, no way to earn and prosper the village cannot become prosperous. A commitment to a PurposeBox™ is not a small undertaking for a support group, but the possibilities, opportunities and end game are worth it all.
PurposeBOX™
This entity has no other goal than to see the success of each of the installations we complete. What better legacy than to see a village transformed and prosperous all sparked by a basic shipping container that bridges the gap between poverty and independent empowerment.

Prosperity
From Within
PurposeBOX™ has its origins in the combined expertise of 2 entrepreneurs whose experience in logistics, equipment design, food processing, fabrication and the needs in developing people groups has combined into this world changing solution. Paddy Brady and Phil Herndon have designed and brought to market a simple overseas shipping container that at destination provides the way out of the desperate cycle of poverty experienced in many parts of rural developing nations. The PurposeBOX™ can process, grow and provide food or feed for local consumption or sales and distribution.
The solar / battery component serves to make the system operable regardless of the availability of electricity. Finally each system is tailored to the needs of the beneficiary adapting to the crops locally grown or enabling the expansion and optimization of other agricultural opportunities. Our equipment has processed rice, corn, fish and wheat, staples of many rural villages. We have installed dryers, grinders, mills, pelletizers and extractors to produce fish food, vegetable and nut oils and animal feed.
