The Livelihood Programme

Building Financial Stability and Sustainable Livelihoods

The Livelihood Programme seeks to empower low-income community members in the areas of employment, upskilling, and livelihood enhancement. It offers members opportunities to pursue their aspirations through seeking or sustaining employment and improving their financial stability.

​

Recognising that employment guidance and upskilling are most effective when they are catered to each individual, the programme provides personalised support and customised pathways that align with members' interests, strengths, and current circumstances to improve employment outcomes.
