HOW ARE WE DOING THIS?

RESCUEMISSION are working with our partners and supporters to provide the poorest women in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Southern America and the Pacific Island with the tools and skills through a range of seminars and training sessions to enable them to work their own way out of poverty by profitable starting business ventures. These women struggle to feed their families, provide accommodation, send their children to school or afford even the most basic elements of healthcare. The women endure a constant pain of looking on while their children suffer and even die at young age. The women and their children have a daily battle for survival. In the poorest communities in the world, many women believe that they do not have the skills to start a business compared with men. The Entrepreneurship Seminars help these women to develop the skills they need to start or grow their own businesses.
