As communities across the U.S. and around the globe are faced with the crisis of COVID-19, two things are clear: we need to be proactive in dealing with the disease AND we need to build economy at both local and global levels.
While no one is untouched by the pandemic, we recognize the significant challenges it imposes on underserved and impoverished communities. Our project partners, the entrepreneurs we train and families they serve are facing significant challenges. That’s why we are all the more committed to helping them gain traction in providing for themselves and their communities.
Without minimizing the pain and loss of those we serve, we continue to see them as thoughtful and highly capable agents of hope and good. Both now and in the coming days they will need additional help through mentoring, training, and access to funding to build sustainable businesses and thriving relationships in their neighborhoods and towns.
Our mission has not changed.
By training and equipping local partners in the U.S. and overseas, we help cultivate sustainable incomes and thriving relationships that lead to communities that flourish.
If there was ever a time for creative entrepreneurial thinking, it’s now.
Your Generosity Matters
By investing in the growth of locally owned businesses, you help communities get back to work, building up economy and the capacity to thrive. That means families are strengthened, children and the elderly cared for, and the soul of communities flourish.
