BUSINESS START-UP GRANTS

Why?

Despite their best efforts, South Asia’s poor and marginalised often find themselves out of work, fighting daily for casual opportunities, or confined to their traditional role in the most degrading and dehumanising work.

This is why we do what we do!

What?

We provide opportunities for people to realise their potential, develop hidden talents and skills, and see their dignity restored.

GRANTS

We provide small business start-up grants (LAMP grants) to women and men for the purpose of setting up a cottage business. These small businesses earn not only a livelihood, but a little to save and a little to recycle so others can benefit from similar grants.

ABILITIES

The skills and abilities of the individual are key elements in determining the type of business, which is decided in consultation between recipients and local LAMP staff.

MARKET

The other key factor is determining whether there is a local market for the goods or services being provided and whether local conditions are conducive.

How?

We want to help women and men earn a livelihood so that they can become self-sufficient and live with dignity.

WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN.
