We Offered Livelihood Support to Lift Women Out of Poverty
It is incredible to see how much poor women can accomplish when we equip them with resources and education to start their own businesses. By providing families with farm animals, agricultural support or small loans, we help them discover their potential and achieve their goals.
Our economic development programs have proven to significantly raise the participants’ standard of living, while also increasing their sense of dignity and self-respect. Women are often particularly empowered by these projects, and their eyes light up as they tell you about everything their work has provided for their children.
