Biblical basis for enterprise approaches to poverty

The Key note speaker at the From Handouts to Handshakes Conference in London in June 2024 was international impact entrepreneur and investor Dr Kim Tan. He gave a Biblically based talk, drawing on principles of Jubilee and describing some of the extraordinary impact investments he has been involved in: the Kuzuko Game Reserve and lodge; the Agape prison call centre in Changi Prison, Singapore; the 5200 hectare Spekboom Reforestation and many others.

At the event, five case studies - stories from entrepreneurs from around the world - also gave much food for thought:

• Eco cattle rearing, Asia: Pat Amboule, Transformational SME
• Micro loans in Malawi: Tamanda Liyao, Christian Aid
• Creating city centre charitable space in the UK: Patrick McDonald, Openwell
• Creating 250,000 micro businesses in Kenya: Kennedy Ojunju, Grace Development Foundation.
