WHY WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACH:
We believe this approach is holistic and can therefore make the largest lasting impact.
We believe it cultivates a culture of hard work and self empowerment.
We believe this will lift entire communities as the businesses grow and are able to hire community members.
Finally, this approach allows us the flexibility to be based out of Utah and have a team to help our entrepreneurs in the Ivory Coast. This eliminates virtually all wasteful travel expenses of going back and forth to complete our work in Africa.

SUSTAINABILITY:
The entrepreneurs are adopting a lifestyle of self-sufficiency and gaining hard skills.
This will provide them with income not for one month or one year, but for a lifetime, and hopefully for generations to come.
Our entrepreneurs are required to pay back an agreed upon percentage of the resources invested in them so that they are invested in their own futures.
While we do not rely on donations to sustain our organization, we appreciate any support you feel called to give and will use your donations to empower as many entrepreneurs as possible.
