Community Facilitation Partner prepares family enterprise training micro-projects with a group of poor families to publish online. MicroAid Projects donors can choose a micro-project and directly fund online either sharing with others or on their own. Total aid provided for each micro-project is approximately £100. Each micro-project is reported via email directly to each donor including text, photos and sometimes video.
How MicroAid uses your donations and contributions?
Your donation will be used to finance home training activities, simple family enterprise materials - not as a business capital, overseas donation transfers and field office activities. MicroAid Projects is an online, UK voluntary organization. There are no UK overheads costs. Registered Charity No 1125206
What do poor families do?
Poor families make micro-project proposals to learn new skills that can be used to increase incomes from their family enterprise and work independently. Give them a fishing rod, not a fish, so they will in the future find their own fish.
