Our Stratey

We engage in enterprise development through funding, managed production, marketing and savings.
Our first step is to collate data on target groups to find out their poverty status, and skill set. We then seek funding for viable enterprises and provide provide management services. We also offer guidance in product development and ensure quick and effective marketing of the product.
