Household income poverty: inability of low-income communities to generate additional sustainable income to improve their livelihood.
Our Target Beneficiaries

Our Strategic Thematic Areas
- Enhance financial inclusion by enabling low-income communities to build Community Microfinance Groups (CMGs) to access financial services
- Promote employment creation through sustainable enterprises among the youth, women, and other marginalized rural and urban communities.
- Health, sanitation, and gender equality - health facilities and gender equality among marginalized rural and urban communities.
- Enhance environmental conservation by promoting sustainable livelihood options and natural resource management among the marginalized rural and urban communities.
