A Small Business Helps End a Family’s Poverty

Having a reliable way to generate their own income is essential for a family that lives on the edge. Emergency aid will help them survive. But only generating their own income will allow them to become stable and thrive.

The type of small business will vary, depending on where the family lives. It might be a market stall, or some rooms they build in their home and rent out, or farming. It doesn’t matter what the business is. What matters is the pride and satisfaction that come from being able to support your own family.
