what I do

Welcome to Microenterprise Builder. This is about my project building microenterprises for people locked out of the system. I’m excited to introduce a new initiative that combines my passion for arts and crafts, business and community development. Join these business owners, and me on this journey as we build a better future, one micro-enterprise at a time!

our goal

The goal is to empower people to become entrepreneurs, fostering independence, confidence, and financial stability. Join in breaking down barriers and building a more inclusive economy, one art/craft business at a time! Or, moving from no job to a job!

about me

My project is dedicated to supporting people locked out of the system in building their own microenterprises, starting with art or craft businesses, or supporting them in a suitable job. I believe that everyone deserves to work or have an opportunity to turn their passions into a career, regardless of the market value of their abilities.

steps

Through the program, participants will receive guidance, resources, and support to:

• Develop their skills and create unique products
• Build a brand and market their business
