Aid ends. A livelihood lasts.
The most durable change we can support is a family earning its own way. Our sustainable livelihoods program equips people — especially women and young people — with the skills, tools and capital to build income that lasts.
From climate-smart agriculture to small business support, everything is designed around one goal: self-reliance.
Our livelihood initiatives
Women’s economic empowerment
Women reinvest in their families first. We support women’s groups with training, start-up inputs and savings structures that turn small incomes into lasting assets.
- Business and financial literacy training
- Start-up inputs and equipment
- Village savings and loan groups
Climate-smart agriculture
Farming feeds most of the families we serve — and the climate is changing under their feet. We train farmers in practices that raise yields while protecting the soil for the next generation.
- Conservation agriculture techniques
- Drought-resistant crop varieties
- Post-harvest storage and market linkage
Youth entrepreneurship
Not every graduate will find a job; some will create them. We support young entrepreneurs with mentorship, seed support and the practical skills to turn ideas into income.
- Entrepreneurship training for school leavers
- Mentorship from established business owners
- Seed support for the strongest business plans
