To balance our approach to enabling poor children and families out of abject poverty, we also promote entrepreneurship through small enterprise development, business training and micro credit.

To help someone in need, you do not only give them fish but also teach them how to fish. To children we give fish and to adults, we teach them to fish. Education for needy children and entrepreneurship for their youth and women is at the core of our work.
