A hand up not a hand out

VisionFund is an important tool for the eradification of poverty and hunger. Through profitable and growing businesses, families can afford:

• more nutritious food
• safer housing
• adequate healthcare

As businesses grow, parents can:

• send their children to school
• save for emergencies
• pay for ongoing services such as clinics, schools and water wells
• offer jobs to the community

“We borrowed money from VisionFund to buy goods to sell. Since then, my family has experienced a better standard of living. I have a new house, pigs, cows and a motorbike…For my children, I want them to stay in education until they get employed.”
