Meet ALFRED.
Despite the vibrancy of his Malawian neighborhood, Alfred faces a harsh reality. Opportunities are scarce, and the struggle to meet basic needs is constant. An aspiring entrepreneur with dreams of starting his own fabric & textile business, Alfred lacks training, mentoring and support. Without help, the future is bleak.
It’s generosity like yours that can provide the business training and mentorship he needs. This is his chance to turn his passion into a reality and uplift his community.
Help UNDERSERVED ENTREPRENEURS, like ALFRED, defeat poverty and flourish.
$20,000 will help equip over 20 entrepreneurs like Alfred, providing them with essential business training, mentoring, coaching, and accountability. This investment unlocks opportunities for them to launch and grow sustainable businesses—creating jobs, supporting families, and strengthening communities.
