Business Training

"HELP International has the perfect amount of structure to give you lots of support if you need it, and yet enough autonomy to feel empowered in making your own decisions and creating your own experience. I loved HELP International because through them I discovered what I could do as an individual to make a difference in the world, and then they helped me do it. Because of the training and leadership we had, we were prepared to be culturally sensitive and good examples of Americans, and the people of Mukono thought very highly of us. HELP isn't a huge organization and it doesn't have a ton of resources, but I was impressed at how well they organized this experience and it inspired me to return next summer."

-Kindra Clemence, Uganda 2007

"No matter how much I taught or how much I served, I could never give more than I received. The Ugandan people have given me more than I can express. They are beautiful in every way. Their strength astounds me and their spirit inspires me. When I came they called me their hero, when I left they were mine."

- Ashley Rogers, Uganda 2008

Business Training

Classroom

Providing the skills and opportunities to start and sustain small businesses is one of the most sustainable tools in eliminating poverty.

HELP volunteers teach business concepts through activities and discussion. Participants apply skills, knowledge and examples that are relevant to their own immediate environment. In 2008, 330 people graduated from HELP International business courses.

We also incorporate a product called the BEST Game, which is a highly interactive business simulation game that engages the participants in a virtual market of producers, buyers, sellers and consumer. The BEST Game does not simply show and tell participants, but involves them so that the learning points are grasped in the context of how they actually apply in the real world. (The BEST is a product of Making Cents International. To learn more check out www.makingcents.com)

In addition to this group instruction, we consult with individual businesses, helping them develop marketing strategies and improve accounting practices. In 2008, we consulted 33 businesses.

Donate online through Network for Good:

Please understand that HELP International is not affiliated with the Network for Good. Network for Good is a charity designed to help and support small nonprofit organizations with online collections. We believe their service is very valuable to us, however you should know that they will retain 3% of your total donation to help cover the expense of credit card transactions. We find that for small and medium sized transactions this is very reasonable. Hence, if you are making a $1,000 donation, HELP International will only receive $970. The tax receipt that we send you will only cover the net donation that we receive. By printing a receipt from Network for Good, you may, however, deduct 100% of your donation from your personal taxes. If you are making a large contribution to the organization, we encourage you to contact the office or mail us a personal/company check to avoid any processing fees. This fee applies to phone-in credit card transactions as well.

Network for Good will allow you to make a donation to us on behalf of a volunteer or to specific projects. If you are donating to a specific project, please indicate that project or country in the "Designation" box. If you are making a contribution to help one of our volunteers, please indicate the name of the volunteer in the "Dedication" box.
