Your opportunity, as a volunteer with Five Talents' headquarters in Falls Church, is to have a positive impact on the lives of tens of thousands of members of Savings Groups around the world. These groups provide members with skills such as literacy and business management, so that they can start their own small enterprises and lift themselves and their families out of poverty. It's important to remember, however, that you can actually help alleviate more than just the suffering caused by the pandemic. COVID-19 is only one of the deadly challenges facing Five Talents' partners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Flooding, landslides and locust infestations are all having devastating effects in different regions, especially on the most vulnerable living in rural areas - right where Five Talents members are. Five Talents is working with Savings Groups to lessen the harm caused to families by COVID and these other crises. The strong partnerships Five Talents has with local churches play a key role in building up the resiliency of these Savings Groups. All our groups are church-affiliated, and in times of crisis, the communities look to the church. And so we continue deepening the church partnerships, and benefiting from the integrity and credibility of the church and church leadership, to get our groups on track.

Mission Statement

Transforming lives through economic empowerment.

Description

Five Talents is a micro-enterprise development organization that helps the world’s most vulnerable families escape poverty. Partnering with local churches around the world, we train men and women, mostly women living in extreme poverty, to form savings groups, take out loans, and build their own businesses.

It may seem surprising, but even those living in extreme poverty can save a little each week, start a tiny business, and fulfill their God-given potential. Because most of the participants use their earnings for their children, the result is healthier families, strong and sustainable communities, and vibrant and growing churches.

REQUIREMENTS

  • We are seeking volunteers who can support Five Talents' work for varying amounts of time, depending on their schedule, but who most of all are reliable and kind in the time they commit.
  • An interest in international development, other cultures, and faith-based work overseas is an asset. Knowledge of donor relations is good, as is an interest in microfinance, but these are not crucial.
