This aspect of the SALT program provides Bible-based financial teaching in the USA.
Vocational schools
Our goal for SALT vocational schools is to help people in underdeveloped countries develop useful, practical skills.

The microloan program takes funding from the United States and issues small loans for clients to start or expand small businesses.
Agri-Plus
The Agri-Plus approach helps farmers identify their resources and implement sustainable farming practices.
