Hair, sewing, baking — a trade of one’s own

Skilling & enterprise

Poverty loosens when a person can make something people will pay for. We train in practical trades.

Alleviating poverty is not a slogan; it is a skill in the hands. Mercy For Life Africa trains young people and women in plating hair, sewing, baking, and other co-skill trades so a household can earn. The goal is not a certificate on a wall. It is a stall, a machine, a customer who comes back.

USD equivalents are estimates at UGX 3,000 per US$1.
