Economic Opportunity
Agriculture, skills, enterprise and local industry that create decent livelihoods.
Economic Opportunity
Communities become self-reliant when they can earn a living. This system focuses on productive sectors, practical skills and enterprise support that turn infrastructure and services into jobs and income.
Development that does not create livelihoods depends on outside support indefinitely. By linking training, agriculture, small business and value addition, AMAF aims to help communities generate the income that sustains schools, clinics and utilities over time.
