ACTION PROGRAM
ACTION PROGRAM
Action is a program that is contributing to curb mass migration by offering families the opportunity to stay in their home country and undertake their own business to be able to sustain themselves.
This is the entrepreneurship program of the Living Heritage Foundation, which with a holistic approach, provides families with seed capital, as well as the opportunity to create sustainable business models and learn from the experiences shared with other families to determine their path to success.
Associate families are part of the program for 3 years, the goal is to provide sustainably and through empowerment, an opportunity to create their sources of income avoiding being forced to consider the alternative of migrating irregularly to other countries.
ACTION is currently supporting more than 50 people. These families meet weekly to receive information on health, education, leadership and teamwork, business, spiritual strengthening, nutrition, agriculture, and food safety, among others. Our goal is to help each family overcome their current circumstances, offering them a way not only to subsist but to develop within their community, expanding their knowledge in the work environment in which they operate, being able to prosper, have a good lifestyle and succeed.
