Strategic Plan

Elevator Pitch

The MBC trains people from the slums the basic skills for running a business, so they can start their own micro business. It allows them to generate revenue for themselves and their families and to improve their economic living standards. In the early stages of the business, the MBC will coach the new entrepreneur in the development and growth of their business.

Values

MBC’s core values are Change, Development and Relationship:

 Change

MBC wants to bring change in the life of people in poverty. By supporting them in the development of their potential, their gifts and talents they learn to stand in their power and to turn from intrinsic motivation into a turnaround in their lives and to make a step out of poverty.

Development

The MBC believes that for every human being there is a place on this earth where he/she can exploit the gifts and talents, to develop the potential to live a healthy, rich, harmonious and happy life. And to provide in the basic livelihoods for themselves, the children, the family and the community around them.

Relationship

The MBC considers people to be unique self-employed individuals, yet in relation to each other: interdependent. We need each other to pimp ourselves, and to serve each other in our relationships and partnerships. We depend on each other for our networks, support, encouragement, advice,  resources and help.
