Socio-Economic Empowerment
- Empowering Livelihoods. Restoring Dignity.
We equip vulnerable youth and women with the tools to start businesses, manage income, and build resilient, independent lives.
Poverty Isn’t Just a Lack of Money — It’s a Lack of Opportunity
For many youth and single mothers, poverty stems from systemic barriers: no access to training, no startup capital, no one to guide them. Without intervention, they remain trapped in survival mode — with no opportunity to build sustainable livelihoods.
IYF’s socio-economic empowerment program provides the skills, knowledge, and support systems needed to break this cycle and build a pathway to income generation and dignity.
