Livelihood Support Program
We are dedicated to transforming lives through our Livelihood and Income Generation program. Here, we empower women and youth with invaluable skills in tailoring, knitting, and soap making. Beyond training, we connect them to thriving markets and help establish Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA). This holistic approach not only creates sustainable economic opportunities but also fosters self-reliance and financial independence.
The following sub programs are undergoing under the livelihood support.
1
Provided 40 farmers with agricultural training in good agronomic practices., seeds, tools,livestock and other farm inputs each year.
2
Identified and selected 50 women headed households for our food bank support program. These are households headed by widows who may have limited means of survival due to such circumstances.

Since most of the disadvantaged women lack collateral, steady employment and credit history, they do not qualify for access to banking or traditional loans. We are empowering these kind of women to form their own saccos and so far 17 saccos are being supported.
4
In order to build women’s capacity in credit management and access to small loans, 53 women are being trained every year to access credit.

Communities are being mobilized into organized saving and credit groups. 6 groups are already identified as model groups and each group has been offered financial support from the foundation.
6
Enhancing Capacity of households and youth in entrepreneurship. Due to high unemployment
rates, social norms and low education levels, the employment opportunities for some youths are
limited. We are supporting the youth to allow them to either start up a small business or improve an existing one by availing to them with small interest free loans.
