Group 2 : AMulti-strategy approach

Create a multi-strategy approach where the targeted demographic

would be able to slot in at ease and contribute back to the society as

quickly as possible. We do this by:

+ Training the subjects in hand crafts, and other skills that require

little capital but can be used to generate products/services.

+Giving them the Opportunity to showcase that talent/skill/business

and that could be by:

- Increased Exposure:* Creating a directory of home businesses in each area; thus offering

them better exposure.

* Create a street market, where booths are rented by the hour.

- Encourage companies to use the products created by these

individuals as corporate gifts (the engraved bags, crested diaries

...etc) rather than having them spend that money on goods from

china.

+Work on branding low skill jobs to increase their social value, and

fight the perception that certain jobs are demeaning.
