Enterprise programs
HENU empowers older persons to achieve financial independence and environmental sustainability through innovative income-generating activities (IGAs). These programs combat poverty and enhance the dignity of older persons
Igniting Potential for the elderly, Our Livelihoods and Enterprise Programs
We believe that age is not a barrier to productivity and that a secure future for a child begins with a stable family. Our Livelihoods and Enterprise Programs are designed to empower older persons and caregivers with the skills and resources they need to generate income. This not only restores dignity and independence to our elders but also ensures that the children they care for have the necessary support for their education and well-being.
Our Approach :
At HENU, we recognize the importance of mental health and personal development in enhancing the quality of life for older community members. Our approach to counseling and skills building focuses on providing comprehensive support and practical skills to help individuals cope with challenges, build resilience, and thrive.
Business Skills Training for Elders and Caregivers:
We conduct workshops on financial literacy, business planning, and market access tailored to the unique abilities and experiences of older persons and the needs of their care caregivers.
Micro-Grants and Seed Capital:
We provide small, non-repayable grants to help elders and caregivers start or expand an income-generating activity, ensuring they can provide for themselves and the children they support
Mentorship and Market Linkages:
Connecting our beneficiaries with experienced mentors and local markets to help their businesses thrive. We help older persons find dignified, manageable ways to earn an income
How to Get Started:
Reaching out is a sign of strength. If you or an older person you know needs support, or if you are caring for a child who is struggling, we are here to help. Contact us to schedule a confidential and compassionate consultation
