Viable

Viable is working to meet a critical need for survivors of abuse and exploitation in the us. Viable serves women and youth who have survived human trafficking, domestic violence-ipv, and/or sexual exploitation, and youth who are aging out of foster care. Viable clients have a history and vulnerability to substance abuse, incarceration, and/or homelessness. All have received aftercare from Viable partner agencies and now seek full (re)integration to rebuild their lives, anchored by meaningful employment and healthy community.

Viable worked to identify and facilitate business opportunities on behalf of approximately 5,000 vulnerable, subsistence farmers in uganda, who represent approximately 25,000 dependents. Viable negotiated with local commercial buyers and processors in uganda to establish pre-arranged, ethical, fair market purchase agreements for crops grown by vulnerable families in the same region. Participanting families were qualified to be struggling to survive, with significant household needs for basic necessities. In this, famlies who formerly depended on handouts from charities/ngos, the government, and/or were previously exploited in the marketplace, have new hope for eraned income opportunity. Priorities listed are paying for food, shelter, children's education and medical needs.
