Family Futures - pathways out of extreme poverty

Due to extreme poverty, families are compelled to send their children to work merely to survive. At UKBET, we recognize that breaking this cycle of poverty demands more than just financial support—it calls for a holistic approach that empowers families to build sustainable livelihoods. Our Community teachers help those families identify promising enterprises, provide micro-grants, and offer ongoing support to ensure their success. Through this, we empower families to meet essential needs, break free from poverty, and secure education for their children. 

Programme Overview:

Our program zeroes in on helping families discover enterprises that match their skills and experiences, guaranteeing a dependable and sustainable income. We closely collaborate with each family, guiding them to select the optimal business venture for their future. 

Micro-grant Allocation:

To ensure a tangible impact, we grant micro-funds specifically for acquiring the necessary resources to kickstart their business. Our field workers not only provide guidance but also instil confidence, aiding families in thriving. 

Lifeline for Families:

Micro-grants serve as a lifeline for impoverished families, elevating their income to afford basic necessities and enabling their children to attend school instead of working. 

Social and Welfare Support:

Beyond financial aid, we deliver continuous business support, training, and welfare assistance, addressing the various challenges families may encounter. 

Impact and Achievements:

Our program has transformed the lives of 356 families, elevating them from poverty and ensuring their children receive an education. 

Case Study:
