Alleviating poverty through entrepreneurship

Since 1998, Entrepreneurs du Monde has been supporting people in highly precarious situations around the world. We help them to start and grow a business, gain access to clean energy and adapt to climate change, helping them build lasting independence.

Entrepreneurs du Monde creates and nurtures local social enterprises, supporting them until they become fully self-sufficient.

From precarity to self-sufficiency

My business has improved our living conditions and enabled me to enroll my autistic son in a specialized center. I also support my family and help my brothers and sisters continue their education. As a member of a group for mothers of autistic children, I contribute to the education of disadvantaged children. Despite the challenges, I want to expand my textile business and invest in clothing imports. Thanks to SOO, I have learned how to manage my business and am proud of my independence.

Today, I am financially independent and proud of how far I have come. My next goal is to open an Ethiopian grocery store, where I can offer my takeaway dishes and share even more of my culinary culture. I want to show my children that with perseverance, anything is possible.

My goal now is to expand my farm and start raising small ruminants. This would provide me with more income and allow me to better care for my children. Thanks to FINA TAWA, I can feed my family better and look forward to a more stable future.

My business, located next to my husband's, now allows us to pay for our four children's education and even buy land to build our house. My dream is to open a large store in Palala. I continue to save money and put the advice I learned from ELILI training into practice to achieve this goal.

My business has grown, and I have even been able to hire four women to help me. My family and friends are also delighted: there is no more smoke or nuisance. Thanks to my business, I support my husband, I am able to save money, and I provide stability for my children. I am very happy: today, I cook better, I earn more, and I am no longer alone.

Convinced by the product's effectiveness, I became a MIVO Energy partner. I now sell gas kits and have also helped distribute subsidized improved stoves. This new activity allows me to generate additional income and share a beneficial solution with other women.
