Our model
Livelihoods
Business and digital skills, mentorship and access to credit and savings circles — so young people and women can earn a sustainable income.
Our Livelihoods pathway equips young people and women with the skills, networks and resources to build a sustainable income.
We run practical entrepreneurship and digital-skills training, facilitate community savings and credit groups that help members pool resources and access low-interest loans, and connect graduates with mentors and markets.
The result is lasting economic mobility: 250 businesses started and 750 young people trained in business skills — families earning, saving and investing in their own futures with dignity.
