To have enough food, shelter, and take care of one’s family is fundamental for survival and basic human dignity. RI enables people to provide for themselves through training and increasing access to resources to lead healthy, productive lives. In communities ravaged by disasters or civil conflict, RI works quickly to restore livelihoods and establish food security, particularly for the most vulnerable. Even in wartime or the aftermath of disaster, livelihoods projects can bridge the gap between despair and well-being using proven tools such as microcredit, business courses, and community education. In many societies, women are the sole providers, but they are also highly susceptible to poverty and marginalization. RI designs many livelihoods projects to specifically further the self-sufficiency and status of women. |
