Since 2015, the LDS Self-Reliance Initiative has helped more than 670,000 people across 130 countries improve their economic circumstances through four 12-week courses: business development, job search, personal finance, and education.
61% of participants report improved ability to solve their own problems. 41% report improved ability to provide for the necessities of life for their families. The program treats temporal welfare as a core religious obligation. (Church-reported figures.)
