Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Lighting the Path works in impoverished countries in Africa teaching vocational skills and meeting food, medical, water, and basic needs of the impoverished populations. We teach and train in business skills and help the impoverished start their own small business to support themselves and their families. We establish vocational training schools and programs where there is a need.
Lighting the Path teaches skills and small business practices to help those in poverty start a small business to support themselves. We focus on women and girls who are abandoned, trafficked and sold in marriage and slavery. We have built a residential technical school in West Africa housing and teaching girls and women skills.
