Global Impact recently kicked off another microenterprise which will conduct business in southern India. The enterprise will generate finances for an orphanage in Mumbai(Bombay). The sales revenue will be used to pay for items such as food, clothing, school supplies, and other miscellaneous items. This microenterprise employs local seamstresses that are creating ladies' garments such as skirts, petticoats, and night dresses. A night dress will sell for approximately $4 US. A petticoat sells for $3 US. A skirt can sell for up to $3.50 US. The garments will be sold in the open market and have the potential of generating up to 30% profit.
The objective is to see this enterprise grow such that the same business model can be multiplied in other areas in India as well. The bottom line is to generate funds to help at-risk kids in developing nations. If this is a vision that you can get excited about funds can be sent to:
