Economic development is a key component of social inclusion and empowerment.
FIVDB supports individuals and communities to escape a cycle of poverty and dependence through capital, education and financial services. By improving economic opportunities, FIVDB helps families attain balanced diets, pay for health services and keep their children in school.
Our programs give vulnerable individuals the tools they need to build sustainable livelihoods. We specialize in financial literacy and education for topics such as savings, smart investing, business planning and technical skills for enhanced production. We support women and other vulnerable groups to become financially and socially independent through skills training, micro finance and emergency cash transfers. In our enterprise programs, FIVDB helps turn dreams into reality by providing capital and enterprise credit to families to start and maintain small businesses.
