As it encounters new challenges, VISION Trust adapts to provide solutions to counter difficulties faced by the underprivileged and vulnerable, wherever they may be.

VISION Trust’s core aim is to develop entrepreneurial skills in those who have lost or never had them, and build successful businesses where none were thought possible.

People have lost, or never had, the ability to identify opportunities in life and in business. They see themselves in a perpetually worsening situation and feel resigned to failing if they attempt to escape its cycle.
