Sustainable Livelihoods

Sustainable livelihoods give families the means to prosper and communities the power to thrive.

When people can provide for themselves, they turn stability into strength.

At Higherlife Foundation, we invest in livelihoods that move communities from dependence to self-reliance. Our programmes strengthen food systems, build institutional resilience, and equip people with the skills and resources to thrive in changing climates.

Through climate-smart agriculture, income-generation initiatives, and capacity-building, we promote long-term transformation — improving food and nutrition security, increasing household incomes, and fostering economic independence.

Long-Term Transformation

By creating systems that are both productive and sustainable, we help ensure that families and institutions can feed themselves, generate income, and build stronger futures.

Our Work

Building
Food Security

We partner with residential care institutions to achieve food and financial security through climate-smart agriculture.

Ninety children’s homes are being supported to establish sustainable production units using conservation agriculture, greenhouses, and nutrition gardens.

Caregivers receive training and inputs to cultivate staple crops and vegetables. Surplus harvests are linked to local markets, turning production into income and reducing reliance on external aid.

Our Impact on Sustainable Livelihoods:

2.4 Million
People impacted through livelihoods interventions.
413,000
Smallholder farmers trained in climate-smart agriculture.
4,000
Vulnerable children made food secure.

Our Commitments

When communities and institutions can produce their own food and generate income, they gain the freedom to shape their future with dignity and hope.

Our Work

Capacity Building
for Caregivers

We strengthen the capacity of caregivers and young people to manage sustainable livelihood projects such as gardens, poultry, and beekeeping.

Through targeted training, technical support, and provision of essential inputs, institutions are empowered to generate income, reduce food dependency, and improve the well-being of children under their care.

By embedding skills, not just resources, we equip these homes to become self-sustaining centres of growth and opportunity.
