Helping someone out of poverty is
challenging.
But we've found a way.
And it's working!
But the future is bleak for her and her two children.
Unless...
Someone provides a bridge out of poverty for Bizunesh.
Here's how
FIRST
We identify the poorest families in targeted high needs communities.
SECOND
Individual adults are screened and placed in groups of 20.
THIRD
Professionally qualified instructors teach basic business skills.
FOURTH
Group members create business plans which they and the instructors
present to a partnered Microfinance Institution (bank).
FIFTH
Weekly business training and mentorship continue until loans are repaid in full.
A new life of hope for a better future begins within months after joining our program.
Incomes increase dramatically soon after
new businesses are started, and families
suddenly have hope for a better future.
$6,000 gets 20 families out of extreme
poverty and into a better life.
Think about that...
$300 to help an entire family out of poverty!
$25 a month for 12 months
Our 12-month program is scalable and sustainable.
