Poverty Alleviation Programs
The objective of this program is to link up donors with recipients with an objective of providing microcredit, health education, employable skills training and other assistance to enable benefactors to improve their incomes and general well-being.
AGF support was driven by the our research in Tibet that found out;
- Microfinance loans for income generating purposes to over 2,200 women had significantly increased household incomes
- On-the-job skills training resulted in a substantial increase in stable employment and incomes for over 1,900 families
- Practical, message oriented villager training contributed to improved health, nutrition and hygiene practices for over 25,000 families
- Personalized training and other support enabled over 500 traditional artisans to compete favorably in local tourist and overseas markets
