Sustainable Livelihoods

The Micro Enterprise Development (MED) Program empowers individuals from less privileged backgrounds to build sustainable livelihoods through business training, startup support, and ongoing mentorship.

The program identifies aspiring or current small business owners who lack the skills or capital to grow their enterprises, equips them with practical knowledge, and provides the initial support needed to help them establish economic stability. The goal is simple yet transformative: to help individuals run their businesses effectively so they can earn a dignified living and break free from poverty.
