Why Supporting Livelihoods Matters?
Independence
When people have the means to support themselves, they gain confidence and control over their lives. Rather than being dependent on others, they become active contributors to their households and communities.
Empower
According to the World Bank, almost 700 million people (8.5 percent of the global population) live in extreme poverty on less than $2.15 per day. Support livelihoods by giving individuals the tools and opportunities to earn a sustainable income.
Sustainable Development
A steady stream of income doesn’t just help individuals, it strengthens entire communities. Skilled and self-sufficient individuals contribute to the economy, inspire others, and foster long-term sustainable development.
