Local Enterprise

Strong communities are built on economic stability and opportunity.

And yet, with a large share of San Miguel’s population living under or near the poverty line, many households struggle to build stable livelihoods.

Local enterprise — small businesses, micro-enterprises, artisan cooperatives, sustainable agriculture, and craft industries — offer critical pathways out of economic vulnerability. However, these small ventures often lack access to capital, training, and infrastructure, and face competition and rising cost-of-living pressures.
