A sustainable income can transform families by providing necessary goods and services, increasing a sense of dignity
and by allowing parents to be positive role models to the next generation. In Malawi, more than half the population
lives on less than one US dollar a day. Limited capital often means that businesses or ambitions never take off.
There is Hope supports business development by providing small scale loans and opportunities
to be involved in our social businesses.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
SMALL SCALE LOANS
SOCIAL BUSINESS VENTURES
We help finance small local businesses run by refugees and Malawians. We aim in particular to assist people with disabilities. A key message we emphasize to our beneficiaries is how to remain financially self-sustainable. Today, Kibebe provides work for over 40 artisans and it is our aim to increase this number by improving sales both locally and internationally.
AGRICUTLURAL INITIATIVES
There is Hope is supporting local farming initiatives by developing our centre as a demonstration site. The site will be used for teaching improved agricultural practices by exploring composting, permaculture design, water management and soil health.
