This document discusses how humanitarian aid can transition to more sustainable business models. It describes the difficult working conditions of women who work in quarries in Uganda to earn $1.25 per day. An organization called Project Diaspora and Women of Kireka aims to help by formalizing partnerships, providing skills training, and helping the women start businesses to produce and sell crafts. This generates higher incomes and is intended to be a long-term solution rather than just temporary aid. The presentation provides examples of how the organization supports business development, production, and capacity building.
