As people acquire more assets they become more empowered to influence and contribute to the society. Thus, as a humanitarian organisation, we are taking steps to improve structures and processes individually and as foundation in improving and building structures and processes that ensure livelihoods and empowerment activities. This will specifically focus on building institutions’ capacity to represent interest of the poor and vulnerable by providing trainings to reduce and bring together different bodies and stakeholders or interests in shaping lasting development and direct other efforts towards elevating the voice of the poor.

Through promoting different vocations and enterprises, our Livelihood Strategies have been developed through a robust plan for the identified groups, especially  individuals and women groups and implement options for pursuing livelihood goals. The greater the diversity of livelihood strategies, the higher the household is resilience to the shocks, trends, and seasonality conditions within the vulnerability context.

Thus, we are poised to promoting the underlying conditions that provide the greatest diversity of choice and flexibility in the pursuit of maintaining a livelihood. We focus on expanding access to a variety of capital assets and support the improvement of the structures and processes that shape livelihoods.

The expected or anticipated outcomes of livelihood strategies will include – higher incomes, greater wellbeing e.g. self esteem, physical security, political empowerment, reduced vulnerability, greater food security and /or improved environmental sustainability.
