Plan’s Enterprise Scheme helps people get the funding and skills they need to create a successful small business and lift themselves out of poverty.

The people we work with want to be independent and self-sufficient, to feed and clothe their families and send their children to school. Like people everywhere, they want to make the very best of themselves and give their children every opportunity to do the same.
But starting a small business in these deprived communities is hard. The banks can be far away and the minimum business loans are often more than they need and much more than they could ever afford to repay.
Working their way out of poverty
Our Plan Enterprise Scheme helps people use their entrepreneurial spirit and drive to work their way out of poverty.
In collaboration with local partners, we work with communities to set up small savings and loans schemes and provide simple training in literacy, numeracy and small business management skills.
This initial funding and training are often all people need to turn their talent and enthusiasm into a successful small business.
We are working to expand the scheme in Benin, Haiti and Nepal to help more people start a business and earn a living.
