Business Development Seminars

Certificate of Societal Leadership Training Program for community and business leaders - a three-year certificate program offered to local community and business leaders with sessions on ethics, corruption, human rights, leadership, and business management principles.

Coming Soon

HIV Prevention Program which combines the best of Abstinence-Be Faithful-Use Condoms approach with human rights training, functional literacy and an Economic Opportunity Fund. The Program will be aimed at women either employed in the commercial sex work industry, or at those who are at risk economically of entrance into the commercial sex industry. By combining HIV prevention methods with a small microcredit fund, ILDI and NEHADO anticipate a greater impact on behavior among participants - thus lowering the spread of HIV!

Microcredit Programs to bring economic opportunity to micro-entrepreneurs and to existing small businesses needed expansion capital.
