Economic Development

We consider economic development essential to addressing the root causes of poverty. Through enterprise and market development projects, World Vision helps improve the economic well-being of communities in which it has a long-term relationship.

We believe that improving job opportunities for parents enable them to better meet the needs of their children. The sector establishes sustainable models, applies participatory methods, aims to empower the community and acts as a facilitator of resources that benefit the poor. Activities focus on assisting families through income generation projects, business development, job placement and vocational training.
