A Christian Resource for Microenterprise Development

Development Resources

Hi  Friends out there -                                 

Four development ideas.  We would appreciate your views on some or all of these ideas:

1. Model Microenterprises

We have started to  develop a portfolio of  successful model microbusinesses which will  be detailed on our website - so far, we have a hairdresser, a Christian bookshop and a food shop. The idea is to provide as much detail as possible including and video clips to help anyone thinking of starting something similar.  We will pay a modest sum for this information which we need in a standard format

 

2. On Line Trading Direct

We are considering, possibly a separate website for microbusiness producers in developing countries to promote and sell their goods direct to customers on line, receiving orders and making direct delivery to customers  - with the customers paying the producer direct - via a Pay Pal account.  We would  need to receive a sample of any product to be included to ensure the quality is satisfactory.  We may apply Fair Trade principles to all products

 

3. Plant and Equipment

We are also considering detailing global sources of micro- scale processing plant and equipment on our  website - if this would be helpful?

 

4. Newsletter

Most significant news and developments will be posted onto the website

However, would it be helpful if we also started sending you occasional updating newsletters on developments ?

 

Your comments on any of these developments or any other  topics related to microenterprise                 will be most welcome - either by email  or by using the blog below
