At We Consult, we believe that the ultimate solution to poverty is self-reliance. Our Livelihood Initiative focuses on equipping individuals in marginalized communities with the skills, tools, and resources they need to earn a dignified living. We aim to transform “aid recipients” into “entrepreneurs and skilled professionals,” ensuring long-term financial stability for entire families.
Our Strategic Approach
We follow a “Skill-to-Market” model that ensures training actually leads to income:
-
Vocational Training Centers: We provide hands-on training in high-demand trades such as tailoring, carpentry, mobile repair, and digital marketing.
-
Small Business Grants & Micro-Financing: For aspiring entrepreneurs, we provide “Seed Capital” or interest-free micro-loans to help them start small shops or home-based businesses.
-
Climate-Smart Agriculture: We support rural farmers with modern irrigation techniques, high-quality seeds, and livestock management training to ensure food security and surplus income.
-
Women’s Economic Inclusion: We prioritize women-led households, helping them form “Self-Help Groups” (SHGs) where they can save money collectively and support each other’s business ventures.
Why Livelihood Matters
Sustainable income is the foundation for every other social improvement:
-
Better Health: Families with steady income can afford nutritious food and medical care.
-
Child Education: When parents earn enough, they are less likely to pull their children out of school for labor or early marriage.
-
Dignity: Earning a living restores a sense of agency and hope that hand-outs cannot provide.
The Impact Cycle
