What we do
Economic Empowerment.
Sustainability projects, vocational programs, and women's empowerment that change a whole village.
Watch the work
To reach a village, reach a woman.
See how training, practical tools, discipleship, and local follow-up can multiply through a household and into the wider community.
Independence built on freedom in Christ
The Gospel is the foundation of healthy economies.
And healthy economies lay new foundations for the Gospel to be shared freely. We believe in self-sustained economic development that takes a community from poverty to productivity. Training, practical tools, and investment give the poorest families a way to lift themselves and their neighbors out of poverty.
The three programs
From relief to self-reliance.
Training, practical tools, and local leadership help families build income that continues long after a project begins.
Sustainability Projects
God has provided Favor with a 270 acre farm. We have a few sustainability projects that help provide for our ministry teams and support our programs directly.

Participants build practical knowledge in skills, trauma healing, entrepreneurship, parenting, financial management, or a chosen vocation.
- 2
Practice
Training moves into hands-on work through shared projects, vocational experience, farming, fisheries, animal husbandry, and other locally relevant activities.
- 3
Begin
Women and young adults use the structure, skills, certificates, or starter project provided through the program to begin producing income.

Follow up
Our field teams stay with participants through accountability and continuing support as they put what they have learned into practice and build confidence.
The Women of Puranga · Uganda
A gift designed to keep multiplying.
After a year of training, each member of a Women Empowerment cohort received two goats. The herds can grow into school fees, food, and medical care for families across the village.
“They praised and worshiped God as they waited to receive two goats for each member of their Women Empowerment group.”

Goats for Women
Women of Puranga, Uganda praised and worshiped God as they waited to receive two goats for each member of their Women's Empowerment group.
Over the last year, these 50 women were taught various topics to aid their spiritual growth, economic empowerment, and social integration. Now they have gladly entered into the next phase by taking on this business project together.
Questions
How economic empowerment works.
Is economic empowerment separate from discipleship?
No. Practical work and spiritual formation go together in everything we do. Training includes Biblical teaching and forms people who can serve their families, communities, and marketplaces.
Does every participant receive the same project?
No. Our field teams run women’s group projects, vocational disciplines, agriculture, fisheries, poultry, and other hands-on work. Options vary by field, so ask us what is open right now.
What does sustainability mean here?
A project should keep supporting families or ministry long after the initial investment. We teach skills, help build income, and keep accountability local so the work can continue on its own.
How can I support a current empowerment need?
Monthly Favor Partners support the overall field. If you want to give to a designated project, ask us which one is open right now and what it still needs.
Fund a cohort that funds itself.
Sustainability tools, vocational training, and women’s programs are built to multiply. Favor Partners get them started.
