Poverty Stoplight

Fundación Paraguaya developed a really cool tool called the 'Poverty Stoplight' to use with their clients. It is both a metric and a methodology based on a self-assessment survey. It opens up conversation about where it hurts, and helps families identify specific problems to overcome. The process gives families a way to visualize their strengths, which in turn builds motivation to realize their potential.

Here is a 5 minute video describing the Poverty Stoplight in more detail:
