THE LILLIAN PROJECT - WKKF FOUNDATION: This program is an extension of the work HBA does and represents a practice of designing programs to meet gaps in service. The Lillian Project targets Harlem-based low income women who either need help getting a small, usually home-based, business up and running, or are passionate about an idea, but dont know how to turn their idea into a thriving business. Most qualified applicants are mothers of school-aged children; and many are heads of single parent households. Having a business can give a woman the ability to support her family financially and provide her with the flexibility to care for her children.
