Finding new or better work is the most direct path out of poverty for families in need. HCI facilitates this process by providing vocational training, offering micro-finance opportunities, and developing promising value chains. As a result of these efforts, farmers can get their crops to market before they spoil and women can earn an income to support their families. HCI helps families after crisis transition from relief to recovery through innovative programs that get them back to work quickly, which restores dignity, puts pay in workers’ pockets and injects cash into ailing local economies. HCI programs are aimed at long-term, reliable growth, and HCI often engages private sector partners to leverage additional resources and guarantee sustainability.
