About Us

DOP

Dominion Over Poverty (DOP) is a Register Charity number 1396 established in Barbados on November 1, 2018. DOP objectives are:

(a) The relief and prevention of poverty, however caused.

(b) To promote financial stewardship, especially among the poor, through Christian Churches and other Christian faith-based organisations.

DOP is a Christian ministry of Helps that considers poverty to be spiritual, social and psychological. DOP believes that victory over poverty can be experienced through the grace of Jesus and financial prudence. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Poverty however caused is oppression. Poverty is expressed in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything. Chief causes of poverty are financial ignorance, unemployment and under-employment, addictions and laziness. Jesus came to relieve all who are oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

The governance of DOP is managed by its seven-member Board of Trustees (BOT) from several Christian churches. The Trustees are experienced professionals with training in law, accounting, banking, finance and theology. DOP’s BOT consist of a Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Secretary and Assistant Secretary, Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, and Head, Operations and Management Information Systems.
