Income Generating Projects allow autonomy and self-sufficiency. As well as helping families secure much needed income with which to buy necessary food and medicines.

It is a way of restoring dignity amongst the poor and an important source of self-confidence, it also restores hope that as an individual they can bring about positive change in their own lives. UWT has taken on this challenge and aims to expand this project in various countries around the world.


Horticultural Garden

The project will also provide the community with seedlings, fertilisers and gardening tools. Legumes will be cultivated and Date trees will also be planted in the Garden. The project will directly benefit the Agoinit women community and the Nehma district at large.

Mauritania: To help one poor woman: £21.50




Fishing Nets

Fishing nets are a great way to generate a livelihood, in many seas around the world there is an abundance of fish to be found, but due to equipment shortages, many fishermen struggle to catch large numbers with which the family can be fed and the excess sold.

Bangladesh - £350

An Income Generating Project has been initiated in Somalia where a family is given ten goats each, with which they can generate an income, through the sale of milk, meat and newborns. Goats are also given to the poor in Bangladesh to generate an income.

One She Goat = £25 (Bangladesh & Somalia)

Ten She Goats = £250 (Bangladesh & Somalia)


Rickshaw

In parts of the world such as India and Bangladesh, getting around in a rickshaw is the cheapest and usually the fastest form of transport locally. Benefitting landless labourers and their families, these human powered & motor carts are a great source of regular income for extremely poor families.

Providing a Auto Rickshaw (India) - £1600

Fishing Boats

A great way to invest in someones future is to provide them with the means to generate an income. By gifting a boat to someone, you are giving that person and his family a source of income for many years to come.
