Our goal was to research and design an economic empowerment program that would extend food carts as a micro enterprise opportunity in Thailand. This was initiated due to the lack of existing lease programs that provide entrepreneurs with the means and educational tools to establish and optimize their business. We surveyed vendors, observed current food carts, researched possible administrators, and developed materials that would enhance this program. We concluded that this project is viable through the implementation of recommendations made for its various components.
