Building sustainable livelihoods through vocational training, microfinance, and business development support for vulnerable communities.
Our Economic Empowerment Program is designed to break the cycle of poverty by providing individuals and families with the skills, resources, and support they need to build sustainable livelihoods. We focus on creating long-term economic opportunities that benefit entire communities.
Since 2015, this program has supported over 3,000 entrepreneurs and trained more than 5,000 individuals in various vocational skills. Our approach combines skills development, access to capital, market linkages, and ongoing mentorship to ensure sustainable success.
The program targets vulnerable groups including women, youth, and people with disabilities, providing them with opportunities to become economically independent and contribute to their communities' development. We work with local businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies to create an enabling environment for economic growth.
Comprehensive skills training in agriculture, crafts, technology, and service industries with market-relevant curricula.
Access to small loans, savings programs, and financial literacy training to start and grow businesses.
Connecting entrepreneurs with markets, buyers, and supply chains to ensure sustainable business growth.
Supporting new businesses with mentorship, workspace, and access to networks and resources.
