Empowering Communities
We provide sustainable livelihoods by offering skills training, business grants, and ongoing support, creating lasting change for families in need. This includes sewing courses that empower women with employable skills, marriage grants to support disadvantaged families, and the setup of small businesses. Together, these initiatives break the cycle of poverty and bring dignity, stability, and hope.
Why Empower Communities in Developing Countries?
Many people in developing countries have the skills and enthusiasm to generate an income for themselves, yet lack the opportunity to put it into practice. In the world’s poorest countries, 1 in 4 children are forced to work which is inhumane and a very upsetting sight to see.
We believe in empowering people to help themselves. Inspired by our faith, we see the wealth given by God as something that all human beings have a right to and we strive to give people access to sustainable ways of supporting themselves and their communities.
Since our inception, we have been working globally to support people in accessing work and education.
Our livelihoods projects cater to the specific needs of the communities we work with, ranging from vocational training for young people to the distribution of crops and equipment for farming families. We also provide sewing courses that empower women with practical skills, marriage grants to support disadvantaged families, and small business start-ups that create sustainable incomes. Together, these initiatives foster dignity, resilience, and long-term stability.
We have heard of the old proverb “if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” – our empowering communities projects aim is just to do that!

Education
Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, opening doors to opportunity and long-term change.
Without education, millions of children are left vulnerable to exploitation, early marriage, and a lifetime of struggle. We provide school kits with bags and stationery for young learners, laptops for older students, and scholarship funding to ensure bright minds are not held back by financial hardship. By investing in education, we empower children to learn, grow, and excel—building brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
