The Power of the Micro-Enterprise Model

The Power of the Micro-Enterprise Model

Our approach is rooted in a proven micro-enterprise model. We don’t just provide handouts; we invest in human potential. Here’s how;

  • Skills Training and Mentorship: We equip aspiring entrepreneurs with essential business skills, financial literacy, and market knowledge. This isn’t just about making a product; it’s about understanding supply chains, pricing, customer service, and reinvestment.
  • Forming Self-Help Groups: Communities are empowered to form self-help groups, often comprised primarily of women. These groups become a powerful support network, enabling members to share knowledge, pool savings, and access small, interest-free loans from their collective funds to kickstart or grow their businesses.
  • Creating Market Linkages: Beyond production, we help members connect with markets, ensuring that the goods and services they produce can reach customers, leading to sustainable income.
  • Focus on Women’s Empowerment: Recognizing the pivotal role women play in household and community well-being, we place a strong emphasis on empowering female entrepreneurs. When women earn an income, it often directly translates to better nutrition, education, and healthcare for their children.
