In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 8, we commit to promoting lasting, inclusive, sustainable economic growth, full, productive employment and dignified work in all the countries we work in. With this in mind, we have started several plans to develop small businesses. These have helped improve families’ living conditions and, at the same time, local development in their countries. We currently offer the chance to invest in this kind of project in Ghana and Nigeria. We give our beneficiaries in those countries financial support, kits with the material they need to start up and suitable vocational training. In Kenya and Mozambico, meanwhile, we have set up a number of business incubation initiatives, which help start up new businesses.
