• Building Livelihoods.

    Entrepreneurship creates independence

    Supporting a child also means strengthening the family around them. Through small business training, microloans and savings groups, we help parents and caregivers build sustainable sources of income so they can increasingly provide for their families themselves.

  • Our approach.

    From an idea to an income

    Participants use small loans to start or grow businesses ranging from market stalls and tailoring to hairdressing, food businesses and local transport. Loans are repaid monthly and redistributed within the community, allowing the same funds to support new entrepreneurs
    again and again.

    Creating Opportunity.

    112 parents empowered

    So far, 112 parents and caregivers have participated in our entrepreneurship programme, building businesses that help them contribute towards food, rent, healthcare and their children's education. By strengthening household income, the impact reaches far beyond each individual entrepreneur.

  • Why it matters.

    Building Independence

    Our long-term goal is not dependency on donations, but to give families the tools, skills and opportunities to shape their own futures. Entrepreneurship is an important part of this approach, combining education, economic empowerment and community ownership.
