Understanding

Living Green is laying out where we collectively need to go and how to get there. By doing so, businesses will not only help build a prosperous, more sustainable world, but also mature new global markets and enter the next era of business.

Action

Living Green is translating the SDGs into responsible business practices, innovation and investment. Ensuring that women and girls are not excluded from accessing opportunities and realizing aspirations for themselves and their families.

Where We Work

In all our economic empowerment programs, Living Green reaches out to women and girls most in need. Living Green empower women to start, manage and grow self-sustaining microbusinesses, starting small without requiring loans or big startup capital. This approach was inspired by women who do small Table Market at the Kumba Main Market (KMM).

We work in hardest to reach communities advancing gender equality while strengthen the role of women in community based decision-making and build capacity of community members, business owners and traditional leaders with the needed set of skills, knowledge and capacity to provide and enabling environment  for women-led business to strive.

Why We Focus On Women

Increasing women’s access to decent employment and entrepreneurial opportunities reduces poverty for everyone. Supporting women to earn their own income and decide how they spend it means solving a social problem, more children in school, and more families with access to healthcare. When a woman owns a business she employs other women. Our program is proven to help women and girls launch their own dream businesses rise from poverty and lift their families and community up.

Participating in economic activities allows women to effect positive changes in their own lives, and family, contributing to positive effects for their community and the whole nation.

Sustainability

Living Green is committed in creating employment and business opportunities that does not and will not depend on aid or charity but on skills and investments. Our model goes beyond just providing decent employment and business opportunity but in the same time solving very important social problems in our  respective communities today and advancing progress on the SDGs. 

With proven results in Kumba – Cameroon, Market Driven Skills help women and girls find jobs, launch businesses, and support themselves and their family. Their skills continue to provide a means of livelihood for a lifetime.
