Microenterprise Opportunities in Lare
Need
Low household incomes, poverty, debt, unemployment and under-employment contribute to a vicious circle. Mercy Center Foundation, USA (MCF USA) and Mercy Center Lare (MCL) have the ability to break this cycle and move the community toward self-reliance and sustainability.
Consensus
Community input and consultations with the staff of the Baraka Agricultural College in Molo, Kenya identified a balanced program for income generating activities. Informal training, utilization of available raw materials and awareness of existing market outlets have been explored.
Pilot activities
Beekeeping and cultivation of cash crops will be initiated on our property. Ongoing technical advice, training, equipment, raw materials and assistance in marketing finished products will be provided. Activities will be organized in close cooperation with the field staff of Baraka Agricultural College.
Ownership
Community groups will assume responsibility for expanding opportunities. Activities will be introduced on a small scale and closely supervised.
