Unlock First Capital
Your gift helps finance initial inventory, tools, and market entry for a participant's first business cycle.
Program Detail
Enable promising youth to move from informal hustle to stable business ownership.
Program Overview
Many young adults already have practical business ideas but cannot access startup capital through formal channels. Our micro-loan pathway helps remove that first barrier while adding mentorship and accountability.
Without accessible startup funding, motivated youth often remain trapped in unstable work cycles that cannot support family growth.
