Our Programmes

Empowerment & Livelihood

Support that moves a household from getting by to standing on its own.

Creating Lasting Change

Many of the widows and low-income families we meet do not need charity so much as a starting point. They have the will to work and often the skill, but no tools, no capital and no one to guide the first few months. MTAF exists to close that gap. We combine practical training with the means to use it, then stay in contact while a new income takes root. Relief alone is quickly spent; a livelihood keeps giving back long after our involvement ends.

Why This Programme Matters

Losing a husband or a job rarely causes one problem. It causes several at once, and they compound.

  • Loss of a household’s main income with no safety net
  • No start-up capital, tools or equipment to begin trading
  • Skills that were never formalised into earning work
  • Few local networks offering mentorship or guidance

How We Make a Difference

Vocational Training

Practical, hands-on training in trades with real local demand, taught to a standard that leads to paid work.

Start-up Support

Tools, equipment and modest start-up capital so that training converts into an actual income.

Mentorship & Follow-up

Continued guidance through the early months, when most new ventures are at their most fragile.

Widow Support

Targeted assistance for widows carrying a household alone, delivered with dignity and discretion.

Who We Serve

  • Widows
  • Vulnerable families
  • Low-income households
  • Young people seeking work

From Immediate Support to Sustainable Change

01

Identify the Need

Beneficiaries apply, or a branch officer, imam or community member refers someone in need.

02

Deliver Targeted Support

Support is matched to the actual situation rather than issued as a standard package.

03

Build Capacity

Where possible we add training, tools or guidance so the support continues to pay off.

04

Track and Strengthen Impact

We stay in contact, review how the support is holding, and adjust where it is needed.
