Livelihoods
Helping families build a stable income and a path toward self-reliance.
Dignity Starts With the Ability to Provide
Aid alone doesn't end poverty the ability to earn a stable income does. For families rebuilding after displacement, conflict or economic hardship, our Livelihoods programs focus on one central goal: helping people move from dependence on assistance to lasting economic self-reliance.
We take a practical, needs-based approach bundling skills training, business support and access to capital, because research consistently shows that combining these services works far better than offering any one alone. Whether someone is restarting a small farm, launching a microenterprise, or entering the workforce for the first time, we tailor support to what will actually help them earn a sustainable income in their local economy.
We also work to strengthen the wider economic environment connecting entrepreneurs to markets, linking job seekers with local employers, and helping rural households rebuild agricultural livelihoods after crisis. Because when individuals succeed economically, the benefits ripple out to their whole community.
