Microenterprises: A Starting Point

Small Work, Real Dignity. Human-scale income.

Microenterprises are not about scaling fast or chasing profit.

They are about people finding a way to stand again — through small, real work that fits who they are and where they are.

This series reflects on microenterprises as a way of life:

work shaped by dignity, presence, and relationship — especially among people who have been excluded from traditional employment.

These posts are not how-to guides or formulaic blueprints. They are reflections from lived experience, accompaniment, and observation — exploring what small work can mean when conventional employment doesn’t fit.

👉 Read the reflections below:

• From handouts to handcrafted. Why making things still matters
• Not everyone can clock in. Work that fits real lives
• Why microenterprises matter more than ever

These posts explore work that is often informal, adaptive, and deeply human — where agency and contribution matter as much as income.

If something here resonates with where you are — personally, pastorally, or practically — you’re welcome to begin with a conversation, not a business plan.
