Economic Empowerment For

We work to empower the most vulnerable people so that they can participate equally in society and increase their income. Our vision is to see marginalized and vulnerable people who are living in poverty become economically empowered.

Our model of economic empowerment

Agriculture and Markets

Many small farmers are mainly subsistence farmers, usually not growing enough to feed their families or to sell in the market. We help farmers to increase their harvests, build their incomes and sustain natural resources. We do this through the use of high impact agricultural technologies which improves farmers’ incomes.

Training

We offer capacity training to our target groups in business skills and value addition in selected value chains. Entrepreneurship skills and innovation are important for the creation of values and welfare. The purpose of the Entrepreneurship training is to develop personal qualities and attitudes and to impart knowledge on how participants can see opportunities and develop these into sustainable business enterprises.

Self-help Groups

We encourage the formation of community based self-help groups. Self-help groups are small informal association of the poor created at the grass root level for the purpose of enabling members to reap economic benefits out of mutual help solidarity and joint responsibility. Self-help groups are formed voluntarily by the rural and urban poor to save and contribute to a common fund to be lent to its members as per group decision and for working together for social and economic uplift of their families and community. These self-help groups are effective for eradication of poverty and social empowerment and sustainable empowerment.
