Our goal is to provide the help needed to move both individuals and communities into long-term sustainability, not dependence upon any outside source.
Impact Nations has trained over 1000 of some of the most vulnerable members of society since 2008. Whether it be pregnant teenagers on the streets of Uganda, gang members facing a life of violence and crime, girls at risk of being trafficked from Nepal, or prostitutes in Kenya with no other way to feed their children, Impact Nations is bringing hope to the hopeless.
We do this through our various Skills and Business Development courses. Each of those courses have three stages:
In many cases, we are able to provide a safe place for women to escape the streets or an abuser. We provide ongoing counseling and introduce them to a life in Christ. One of our founding board members, Christina Stewart, provides retreats in which these women are able to discover that they are loved by God and He has made them for a purpose.
Our skills development programs include sewing, hairdressing, soap making, catering, party decorating, graphic design, web development, and more.
Using curriculum provided by our partners, Alternativ, we incorporate basic business training into our skills development programs. This curriculum was specifically designed for use in the developing world among those with limited literacy. Students learn important principles such as market research, personal savings, and budgeting.
Each individualized plan considers their target market, competition, projected expenses and revenue, etc. Small loans are granted once a student has completed their business plan.
Others enter the job market, fully trained with a specific skill, carrying a newfound confidence that has come from job placement opportunities during their training. Some of our training programs include small businesses that are able to provide employment for a few of the graduates.
Whether they are starting their own business, seeking employment, or even returning to a formal education, graduates continue to receive ongoing coaching and encouragement. We are seeing stories of desperation turn into stories of inspiration!
