Income Generation Program
Income Generation Program
We launched income generation activities for parents and guardians of children in our program in January of 2021! Parents and guardians will be supported and trained in starting or growing their own small businesses so that they can become self-sufficient and provide for their families.
A whole new set of challenges came to the communities in which we operate in 2020. The pandemic has caused many parents to be without work and forced them to explore alternative options for income.
Our staff had been praying for years about offering income generating opportunities to our parents and guardians and 2021 was the ideal season to set our sights on increasing the sustainability of the developmental work we are already doing.
The first phase of this program was from Jan.-Oct. 2021 and benefitted 10 families. Our pilot phase was incredibly successful with all participants paying back a portion of their loan each month and also putting some of their income into a savings account. In November of 2021, we started the second phase of this program in which 7 more parents/guardians were given the opportunity to participate.
