In addition to vocational training, BGR also supports livelihood development through the provision of business start-up kits, agricultural support, animal farming, and entrepreneurship opportunities. These initiatives are tailored to the local needs of communities and ensure that beneficiaries can build income sources that are sustainable and aligned with their environments.
By offering skill development programs specifically tailored for women and young adults, BGR empowers them to contribute economically to their households. This increases gender equality, boosts confidence, and improves the status of women within their communities.
When individuals acquire marketable skills, they can access better job opportunities or start their own small businesses. This raises their income level, improves living conditions, and breaks the generational cycle of poverty.
Sustainable livelihoods lead to more resilient communities. Families that can support themselves are more likely to send their children to school, access healthcare, and participate in the local economy. This creates a ripple effect of growth and stability for entire regions.
For many individuals and families in underserved regions, the pathway to a better life begins with acquiring a skill. Whether it is sewing, carpentry, plumbing, or another vocational trade, having a practical skill enables people to find meaningful employment or start small businesses.
People living without access to livelihood support often rely on daily labor, which is unstable and poorly paid. Others are trapped in a cycle of generational poverty, unable to afford even the basics like food, clothing, or school for their children. In some cases, the lack of income forces young children to drop out of school and contribute to household earnings through unsafe and exploitative work.
BGR’s livelihood programs break these cycles by equipping people with what they need to stand on their own feet. These programs are community-centered, culturally sensitive, and designed to create long-term results.
