The Christian Microenterprise Network links missions, charity agencies, churches and individuals supporting our vision to help income generation in developing countries.

If you would like to start your own income generating enterprise or are wanting to try and help others do this, then we hope we can help wherever you are.

We support the principles of equal opportunities, fair trade, organic food production, environmental technology, high integrity, health and safety at work and we recommend quadruple bottom line (Profit, community welfare, environmental protection and spiritual awareness).

As far as possible all our resources are free, but we would like you to join us in this network as you will have valuable experience and insights which could help us develop this global resource. Please see our membership page for details.

We trust that this website will be of a real help and encouragement to you and wish you well in your future endeavours. You are warmly invited to contact us with any queries or post any comments on our blog which will be available in due course.
