LIVELIHOODS.

Our five pillars of engagement are Culture & Heritage, Children & Youth, Women, Livelihoods Development, and Conservation.

Economic empowerment

We work in partnership with fledgling tourism businesses and artisans by providing trainings, mentorship, marketing and financial support (made possible by our funding partners). The trainings in business planning, product development, quality improvement, and financial management (among others) increase self-confidence and build capacity while facilitating successful and competitive access to the tourism value chain. We also help these businesses gain access to investment funding for infrastructure and equipment, providing money for property improvements necessary for tourism industry success.
