Our Mission

Empowering grassroots informal businesses with research, training, and value-added product development.

We advance sustainable, value-added agriculture and strengthen grassroots informal business operators and marginalised communities in the Solomon Islands through practical financial literacy, hands-on training, and rigorous research and development. Our programs help people turn local produce into market-ready products, build core business skills, and access inclusive economic pathways. Our research informs empowerment and abuse-awareness education, while data analysis guides what works for long-term impact.

What we do

• Research & data: baselines, market testing, impact tracking
• Training: financial literacy and small-business management
• Value-added product development: prototyping, packaging, quality standards
• Market access: buyer linkages, compliance, simple contracts
• Inclusion & safety: empowerment education and abuse awareness
