Under the Same Tree

TRAINING AND EQUIPPING
We come alongside vulnerable single moms, and provide them with financial and business management training. They develop business plans and proposals, and we assist them with the implementation of their plan.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
We fund lending pools that enable our program members to purchase the supplies needed to start a business. They meet together weekly to encourage one another, collect repayment, and develop savings accounts.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP
While parents are focusing on growing a consistent income source, we provide a stipend to assist with the school tuition, nutrition, and medical needs of children. This child sponsorship serves as the incentive for parents to repay their business loans.

Under the Same Tree currently works internationally in Kenya, Uganda, and Haiti. In St. Louis, MO, Under the Same Tree works with refugee families by creating artisan co-ops of women who are trained to create products and crafts, then provide opportunity to sell their products.
