Livelihoods (Job Creation)
Help create jobs which in turn alleviates poverty
The creation of a livelihood (job creation) is an effective way to lift people out of poverty.
A number of Christian missions are working to create or support jobs in developing countries as follows:
- Vocation training - provide training in the skills needed to obtain a job.
- Microfinance - lending money to an entrepreneur or small businesses on good terms to help start or grow a business.
- Business creation - create a business with the intention of creating good jobs for locals
- Equipping people with ‘tools’ for their trade
