Breaking the cycle of poverty can be as simple as giving people the tools to start a new career. With an innovative approach using mobile training teams, OBI is teaching marketable job skills such as cell phone repair, dressmaking, carpentry, small appliance repair and cosmetology. Trainees are also taught ethics and solid business principles. Once the students graduate, they are given a starter kit with the materials and tools they need to start a business. A gift of $100 will provide a startup kit for a cell phone repairman, a furniture maker or a dressmaker, or a gift $300 can go toward a teacher’s salary and help provide instruction to hundreds of students each year.
Suggested Gift: $100 or $300
