Welcome to Urban Business Initiative!

Urban Business Initiative (UBI) empowers survivors of domestic violence through business education and mentoring to achieve financial and personal independence, breaking the cycle of violence. Our innovative hands-on courses expose participants to the reality of running a business while building confidence in their ability to be successful. Our business seminars are taught through collaborations with local shelters and community organizations. Read about the individuals we help. (Spanish)

We are a grass-roots organization managed by a group of passionate volunteers who enjoy sharing our knowlege and personal experience with others. We have been assisting small businesses since 1998, working with shelters and community centers in Houston and the surrounding cities. Without your support, it would not be possible to continue this work. Make a tax-deductible donation today to help us provide our services.
