​We have discovered that training is the foundation of our ministry. Once learned, people own it forever. They can use it according to their own insights, skills and abilities. And they can pass it along to others. Training is the ultimate sustainable ministry.

Business Training
​We have modules that cover a wide range of topics such as Increasing Sales, Marketing, Taking Care of Customers, Market Assessment, Financial Management, Business Planning and Leadership.  Most of our students find ideas that they can put into practice immediately if they have a small business.

Personal Financial Management
This is one of the most significant, and gratifying, portions of our training.  As we show people - often no more than one generation removed from a crop-to-mouth existence - how to manage their cash more effectively, we have seen transformation at every level: Adults, children, even churches and ministries!

Local Economic Development
Many people have had experience with local Self-Help groups, and usually those experiences have been bad - simply because they never learned good process and policies. NVI's training solves that problem - we provide a thorough, hands-on training process that helps  people establish systems to help them grow locally.
