Planning for a better business In 2020, we added The Chalmers Center’s Plan For A Better Business and Livelihood Training that walks participants through a Biblically based model to start or improve their business. Over the course of 7 weeks, groups explore topics such as examining business ideas, planning production and costs, and preparing for unexpected events. In the final week, participants receive a livelihood training in soap-making or agriculture which provides both a practical case study and additional business skills. Here's the impact we celebrated in 2020: •
148 Seed Effect groups trained
•
160 individual businesses started
•
19 group businesses started
