A Christian Resource for Microenterprise Development
Development Resources
This training programme is based on the accumulated wisdom from many Internet resources
plus personal business start up experience.
The principles of trading are global although of course local situations and opportunities
for business development will vary enormously between countries and regions. However,
wherever there are communities of people there are needs for goods and services and
there will be opportunities to help meet those needs. We hope this preparation programme
will help you, wherever you are.
The programme is divided into 7 modules for personal
study. Group Training materials will be provided in Module 7. Please click on the

It is recommended all relevant modules are completed as preparation for starting
a microenterprise, or looking for employment
You will need to make a great commitment of your time, effort and probably your money
in starting up a successful business of any sort. It is therefore extremely important
that you spend as much time as you need to study the type of business you want to
start and then prepare a ‘business plan’ – however small your enterprise might be,
this will be time very well spent.
We want you to succeed because successful businesses can grow and those adopting
a sound basis of good management practice and strong ethical and relational guidelines,
will minimise risks of corruption and will be the businesses that will have the greatest
growth potential.
We hope these training modules will guide you towards making the best possible decisions
for your enterprise to enable you to generate sustainable and worthwhile income for
you and your family.
We have kept the modules as brief as possible and include links to provide sources
of detailed information if you need more.
We wish you every possible success and encourage you to take all the time you need
to carefully consider then plan your business, before you start!
