Empowering Families

"Launch Hope" is the name of our Family Business Initiative, which encapsulates Family Empowerment through entrepreneurship. This program shifts the narrative; it helps keep struggling families together.

To date, we have enrolled over 1,000 families in our Family Business Program in Ethiopia, Haiti, Uganda, Belize, Dominican Republic, Peru, and Zimbabwe with an average increased income of approximately 642% — and many of these families now have 2-3 years of self-sufficiency under their belt! Not only does the program help families to thrive, but it ripples outward into the community as families grow their businesses, create even more jobs, and pour into the local economy.

$1,000 empowers a family for life. That breaks down to:

• $100 for intake and assessment process for the program

• $150 for business training

• $250 for ongoing mentorship and holistic support

• $500 to provide in-kind resources for business launch
