Our mission is to document and highlight efforts of people and organizations around the world that are empowering others to become self-reliant. We do this through our ongoing radio show, in-progress documentary, and upcoming book.

Billions Rising is dedicated to the idea that this abundant world has everything we need for each person on the planet to live in prosperity. We believe that poverty will be eliminated through education, action, innovation and collaboration.

Each of us can make choices to become self-reliant ourselves and then reach out to help others do the same. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions about all of the topics related to self-reliance. If there is a person or group you think we should know about, please leave a comment here on our site.
