Short Story
The Ready to Go Online Businesses are delivered as actual businesses, ready to accept online orders. The e-commerce businesses include African-Caribbean groceries, barbers, hair stylists and hair care products, and body care products.
These businesses were chosen because of their strategic importance to the Black Community and with the exception of hair styling, have been heavily dominated by business owners from other racial communities.
This is a clear sign that the Black Community requires support and direction to achieve this first stage of economic sufficiency of producing within the community the basic products and services that the community needs. The lending practices of the major financial institutions have greatly contributed to this inequity.
Our Donations program empowers underprivileged youths by providing them with online businesses that cater to the specific needs of the Black Community and in so doing match the underemployed capacity of Black Youths to the supply of goods and services which are of strategic importance to the Black Community. This will enable the individuals in the program as well as the Black Community to prosper!
Our Ready-to-Go Online Businesses are Game Changers! Our program also offers critical technology training in online e-commerce and marketing and advertising support.

Anyone who is interested in obtaining African Caribbean groceries will be able to find the business through search engines like Google or Bing.
