Job Skills
Offering a hand up to a better life, CBN’s job skills outreach assists individuals, families and communities that are languishing in poverty. With the help of CBN partners, we provide supplies for small businesses such as food carts, local craft sales, and more—along with training and support to ensure long-term success.
The Need
- Around the world, millions of workers struggle to make one U.S. dollar a day.
- Many more don’t make enough to provide food, shelter, clothing and education for their family.
- Food insecurity is common, with children often going without food to nourish their growing bodies. Begging and living hand-to-mouth is a way of life for many.
