Most women we work with are already working. What they lack is a way to price, plan and protect the income they earn.
The challenge
A trader can run the same stall for fifteen years and never build a buffer. Without records, it is impossible to know which product makes money. Without savings, one hospital bill ends the business. And without collateral, a bank loan is out of reach.
What we do
- Run practical entrepreneurship training built around each participant's actual business, not a case study.
- Teach financial literacy: costing, pricing, bookkeeping, separating household and business money.
- Help participants form savings groups so capital stays inside the community.
- Connect producers to buyers, including institutional buyers who can order at volume.
- Provide follow-up coaching for six months after training.
What changes
More than 200 women have completed our financial literacy and business education program. Participants leave with a costed plan, a simple record book and a savings commitment, and they can explain their margins to a lender.
How you can help
Fund a training cohort, sponsor a savings group's starter capital, or offer a market link to a producer group.
