Eagle Condor Humanitarian (ECH) believes the best way create change for good is to teach others how to help themselves.  Enterprise Zones are areas where ECH provides rigorous entrepreneurial training courses and qualifying participants are taught business strategies, accounting and marketing skills. Upon completion of the course, and based on the approval of their business plan, graduates are eligible to receive small loans to start their new business with the help of our capable staff in Peru who continue to support loan recipients through weekly consultations for a least 1 year. On average, three new employment positions are created by each new business started. Loan funds are revolving and self-sustaining once started – $250 can sponsor someone through the first level of micro-loan training.  Generous donations set up an Enterprise Zone, and currently ECH has these programs for entrepreneurs in Chiclayo, Trujillo, Piura and Cajamarca, Peru.  Programs are also underway for Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia, including new areas in Peru.  See the Action Groups page for more information on how you can become involved in creating new areas for Enterprise Zones!
