The 1010 Project
The 1010 Project is a humanitarian organization based in Denver, CO. Its primary mission is to alleviate poverty in developing countries. In recent years, the 1010 Project has focused mainly on Kenya.

History
Incorporated in May of 2003 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the 1010 Project (1010) has situated itself within the Denver community. The founder of 1010, Andrew Syed, traveled to Kenya in 2003 to experience firsthand the crushing poverty of the region. After making a number of business contacts, he returned to the United States, and set about creating a microgrant program that could aid his new partners.

Activities
The 1010 Project relies on a bifold action plan: Education and Empowerment. On the ground in Kenya, 1010 provides funding and guidance to a number of community-based organizations (CBOs) and their members. In the Denver metro area, 1010 works to raise awareness of the global importance of reducing poverty.
