Programs · Self-reliance
Helping people who can work, but lack the means, become self-reliant through skills and income-earning tools.
The need
Many people are willing and able to work but can’t earn steadily without basic tools or a first push. Giving a means of income once lasts far longer than giving aid every month.
How it works
Local volunteers and representatives identify families able to work but lacking the tools.
A home visit decides which tool will work best for the family.
A rickshaw-van, sewing machine, livestock or the training needed.
The family starts earning by its own work — help becomes ability.
Regular check-ins, with advice where needed.

One story
Since we got the cow, I sell milk and cover the household costs. I don’t have to ask anyone for help.
