SHE RISES Family Enterprise Initiative
Partnership proposal

How we can work together

Partners may sponsor the complete project or agree on a defined phase after reviewing the scope, budget, timeline and reporting plan. Ameliorate Missions will serve as the local implementing partner: coordinating consultations and required approvals, recruitment, training, execution, safeguarding, financial records and progress reports. Responsibilities, payment arrangements and any restrictions will be set out in a written agreement before work begins.

For projects at a planning stage, activities and targets below are proposals. We will publish verified field updates as work progresses.

The mission

Why this project exists

To strengthen the economic resilience of participating single-parent households by developing viable income pathways that reflect participants' capabilities, household responsibilities and actual market opportunities.

Each participant will undergo a livelihood and household-barrier assessment before entering an appropriate employment or enterprise pathway.

Assess → Identify Opportunity → Equip → Address Barriers → Launch/Place → Save → Mentor → Grow.

Depending on the market, pathways may include employment, home-based enterprise, cooperative activity, digital work, trade or other viable income opportunities.

Current need

How partnership helps

Economic vulnerability in single-parent households is rarely solved simply by distributing equipment or providing short-term training.

Childcare responsibilities, limited capital, unstable markets, time constraints, inadequate networks and weak access to employment can all prevent income progression.

SHE RISES therefore begins with the household and the market, not a predetermined livelihood package.

Expected outcomes

What we intend to achieve

Indicators may include participants completing training, employment/enterprise transitions, income progression, business survival, savings participation and changes in household economic resilience at follow-up.
