About this project

The Livelihood Support Programme helps vulnerable individuals improve their income-generating capacity and build greater economic independence.

Support is shaped around each beneficiary’s circumstances — it may strengthen an income-generating activity they already have, or help them develop a new one.

More than 154 individuals have been assisted with financial support towards living expenses, healthcare, education and other essential needs while they establish themselves.

How it works

  • Shaped around the individual's own circumstances
  • Strengthens existing activity or starts something new
  • Covers essential needs during the transition
  • Aimed at reducing dependency on external assistance

Frequently asked

How is this different from Poverty Alleviation?

Poverty Alleviation is a revolving business-finance fund. Livelihood Support is broader and more individual — it can cover living costs, healthcare or education while someone builds earning capacity.

How many people has it reached?

More than <strong>154 individuals</strong> since the programme began in January 2025.

What does support actually cover?

Living expenses, healthcare, education and other essential needs, according to the individual's circumstances.

Is it a one-off?

It is shaped around what the person needs to reach independence, rather than being a fixed single payment.
