WHAT WE DO
Our Work
Client SelectionServing Women in Vulnerable Situations
Nearly 800 million people live in extreme poverty globally. We work with our local partners to identify those who need our program the most, making young mothers, former abductees and those affected by HIV a priority. Applicants qualify for our program based on a needs-assessment survey, which is part of our selection process. |
Life and Livelihood Skills TrainingSustainable Changes
At The Ribe Project, we are dedicated to supporting individuals in their efforts to empower themselves. Our training curriculum provides our participants with the knowledge needed to greatly improve their economic and social situation. Often, these skills then provide families the ability to stay together. With equal access to resources, people around the world grow to become empowered individuals with the ability to chase their dreams and use the tools they need to build the life they want. |
Financial Literacy & Micro-Finance LoansFulfilling Dreams
People living in extreme poverty want to end their reliance on emergency aid to meet their needs. Our participants want the opportunity to improve the lives of their families. With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. Providing micro-finance loans to our artisans allows them to pursue their own passions in addition to working with our program. Education in financial literacy, creating business plans, and opening savings accounts can allow this empowerment to begin.
