Livelihood Support Program

Livelihood Program aims to alleviate poverty, boost economic independence, and improve quality of life for underprivileged individuals in rural areas. By providing targeted financial and material support—such as equipment, business supplies, and raw materials—the project enables beneficiaries to establish sustainable small businesses. Key initiatives include composing centers, decoration shops, provision of livestock, electric equipment, grocery stuff and retail stores that address both personal livelihood and local service needs. Alongside these resources, beneficiaries receive entrepreneurship enhancement techniques in essential business skills, financial literacy, and customer service, along with mentorship to help ensure long-term success. As these businesses become operational, they foster greater access to local services for rural communities, enhancing satisfaction, convenience, and economic activity within the area. In the short term, beneficiaries experience immediate income improvements, elevating their families’ living standards and reinforcing the importance of local entrepreneurship. As they stabilize their operations, the businesses gain a steady customer base, which promotes reinvestment and business expansion. Medium-term outcomes include sustainable business operations and the emergence of a local entrepreneurship culture, as other community members are inspired to pursue similar ventures. This economic empowerment builds resilience against financial shocks and reduces vulnerability, contributing to a stronger community economy. Ultimately, the long-term impact of the Livelihood Progaram is a significant reduction in poverty rates, improved quality of life, and social cohesion within the community. The success of these initiatives provides a replicable model for other rural communities, showcasing how targeted empowerment efforts can drive sustainable development, community pride, and economic transformation.
