The biggest challenge facing our entrepreneurs upon leaving Green Malata is finding the means to start their own business. They need equipment and supplies, they need to rent or buy a space to work, and they need to get people to buy their products.

You can help them by donating, for example, a Farming Starter Pack so that a farmer can grow his own crops, or Bread/Bakery package that provides a source of income for a single mother.

If you would like to donate a Entrepreneur Starter Pack or an individual item, please make sure to include the package number in the description of your donation payment.

Thank you.
