Economic Empowerment

Breaking the cycle of poverty

In partnership with Hand in Hand International, we are empowering communities through education and capacity building. This includes creating 2,548 jobs, increasing net income by 30%, launching 1,960 small businesses and changing the lives of 2,800 people in our communities.

Together, we provide training and transferable skills to ten villages, transforming community members’ lives by helping families break the poverty cycle. This includes Marketplace Literacy Training for local women, which aims to equip them with the entrepreneurial skills needed to run sustainable small businesses.

Post-training, community members will engage in four supply chains, taking complete ownership of these small businesses. This will enable them to become economically and sustainably self-reliant entrepreneurs, with the drive to preserve and protect the Kwakuchinja corridor.

Access to financial services is a crucial component in empowering rural households and reducing poverty. Through Community Microfinancing Groups (CMGs), low-income households have access to basic financial services – we support 6 groups and a total of 180 members, the majority of whom are women. We also assist village saving groups with seed capital as well as initial training on how to run their businesses and trainee training (TOT).
