Without a long-term income or livelihood, escaping the claws of poverty is almost impossible. Living without a regular income leaves people and families unable to prepare effectively in their everyday lives, sometimes leaving them unable to afford even basic food. It also means that people are unable to save or invest, which makes it impossible to deal with last minute emergencies such as medical bills or home repairs. That’s why, at Children of Adam, we’re funding futures and helping families establish a long-term source of income. Each of our initiatives help families establish a small business, where they are able to earn a reliable, steady source of income.
