Overview
Entrust is supporting our partner's Transform initiative, which is committed to helping individuals in extreme poverty uplift themselves through a thorough four-month program. Transform is a comprehensive capacity-building program that emphasizes four crucial components for nurturing HOPE and driving enduring life change: Heart (developing positive values and strong relationships), Opportunity (enabling sustainable livelihoods and savings), Physical (promoting health and well-being), and Education (empowering confident young learners).
Why support this
Collaboration is at the core of our partner's approach, aimed at inspiring hope and driving meaningful transformation. They work closely with local communities, focusing on economically disadvantaged families to participate in their program. The initiative includes around 30 members, primarily women, who take part in a comprehensive 15-week program centered on building HOPE. This program enhances skills across multiple areas of life, fostering lasting and impactful change.
