Women’s Economic Empowerment
Equipping women and youth with vocational skills, micro-grants and financial literacy to build thriving local businesses.
About This Program
We foster financial independence for women through micro-grants, Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) and business management training.
When women control their income, whole families benefit, from better nutrition to children staying in school.
Core Initiatives
Savings Groups (VSLAs)
Forming Village Savings and Loan Associations.
Micro-Grants
Providing micro-grant capital for female entrepreneurs.
Business Skills
Training in financial literacy, bookkeeping and market access.
Impact That Lasts
Our programs are designed to reinforce one another, so progress in one area fuels progress in the next.
Economic Power Anchors the Family
When mothers gain financial independence through micro-enterprise grants, they reinvest up to 90% of their income in their children’s nutrition and schooling.
Education Fuels Economic Growth
Every additional year a child spends in school can increase future earnings by 10% to 20%.
