Values

Entrepreneurship

Applying creativity and hard work to build a new business is a beautiful and effective vehicle for wealth creation. We endeavor to catalyze this process among the poor in developing nations.

High Quality Training

Creating, gathering and teaching excellent business development curriculum is an unending quest. These resources are being highly contextualized for micro-entrepreneurs in each locale.

Depth of Relationship

Individuals involved in Entrust endeavor to develop meaningful interpersonal relationships with each other as they work together in their shared mission.

In-Country Partnership and Leadership

Existing networks of committed relationships in the countries we serve are vital midwives for new Entrust Teams. From among those empowered by Entrust, indigenous leaders are developed to expand the network of Entrust Teams.

Cross-Worldview Partnership

While operating from a biblical view of social justice and compassion, Entrust intentionally involves people of various worldviews and highly values the mutual influence and multiplied impact of its broad partnership.

Mutual Empowerment

Business-people from developed and developing nations experience accelerated personal and professional development as they engage in healthy cross-cultural relationships with each other.

Holistic Empowerment

More than simply helping the poor make more money, we care about the development of the whole person and the whole community. We long to see micro-entrepreneurs grow in character, in spirit, and in dignity, as well as being able to provide for their family’s basic needs and education. Entrust hopes to see whole communities impacted by these rising leaders and the goods and services they offer.
