"May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands."
Livelihoods (Job Creation)
Help create jobs which in turn alleviates poverty
The creation of a livelihood (job creation) is an effective way to lift people out of poverty.
A number of Christian missions are working to create or support jobs in developing countries as follows:
- Vocation training - provide training in the skills needed to obtain a job.
- Microfinance - lending money to an entrepreneur or small businesses on good terms to help start or grow a business.
- Business creation - create a business with the intention of creating good jobs for locals
- Equipping people with ‘tools’ for their trade
Livelihoods (Job Creation) projects include:
Vocational Training Centre Project
Help provide a free, quality, co-ed education to students who are impacted by leprosy or disability
Rural Income Generation
Help empower disadvantaged families to support themselves and improve their future
