Introduction
Using a pay it forward model, Action Change partners with local NGOs and entrepreneurs to provide them with the training, skills and funding they need to get their small business off the ground. Instead of a high-interest rate, the entrepreneur gets to do a donation to a future entrepreneur!.
Report
Together with local NGOs and institutions, we identify entrepreneurs with a solid and sustainable business idea. After a selection process, each entrepreneur will get the capacity building required to be given the best opportunity for success. Once trained, they will be assisted with the initial products to be able to earn the money to continue the operations independently. Instead of a high-interest rate, the entrepreneur gets to do a donation to a future entrepreneur. We have managed to raise $365 so far but still have a long way to go to reach our target of $25 000! A donation of $12 provides fabric for our sewing entrepreneurs to get started with their clothing business.
Thank you for your support
