Self Help Groups and Income Generating Activities

About the Project

The Trees of Glory SHGs/IGAs project empowers guardians and communities through Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Income Generating Activities (IGAs). This program focuses on building sustainable livelihoods by training community members and helping them develop new business opportunities. 

By participating, guardians gain skills and resources to start small businesses within their communities, providing a steady source of income for their families. These efforts not only strengthen families but also contribute to the overall development of the community, creating lasting impact for the children and future generations.

About Children's HopeChest

At Children’s HopeChest, we empower orphaned and impoverished children by fostering transformative relationships that drive holistic, sustainable community development. Through our unique Community-to-Community model, we connect U.S. communities with those overseas, creating lasting impact. Our approach begins with children but extends to uplift entire communities, partnering with local leaders to support long-term growth and change.

Theory of Impact: How do we do this?

We come alongside local leaders to cultivate holistic community development through two-way transformational relationships.

Empower local leaders to provide food, medical care, and hope to their communities, while sharing the gospel.
​

Work with local leaders to reduce, and eventually eliminate, poverty by creating self-sufficiency for every child and every family in their community.

Support partnering communities as they directly engage with overseas communities to create sustainable transformation using healthy international development practices.

Address the complex causes of poverty, including material, spiritual, emotional, social, economic, and educational needs.

Put systems in place to reduce, and eventually eliminate, poverty in all of its forms.

Tend to children’s holistic needs for survival, community, education, and employment.

Transform the lives of children and their communities through a focus on sustainability, independence, and long-term self-sufficiency.

Transform the lives of the partnering community members through exposure, education, relationship, service, and perhaps most importantly, instilling hope.
