When women are equipped with leadership skills, economic opportunities, and supportive networks, entire communities thrive.

Our Women’s Leadership & Economic Empowerment initiative champions the inclusion, confidence, and independence of women by creating pathways for growth, leadership, and meaningful participation in community life.

What We Do

We support women through practical, community-centered programs that focus on:

  • Leadership and skills training to build confidence and decision-making capacity

  • Business development coaching to support income generation and entrepreneurship

  • Access to mentorship and support networks that foster learning, collaboration, and resilience

  • Advocacy for women’s rights and community participation, ensuring women’s voices are heard and valued

Through these efforts, women gain the tools and confidence needed to pursue opportunities, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to local development.

Women Lead Program

Women Lead is our flagship program dedicated to amplifying the voices, leadership, and economic participation of women. It supports women to step into leadership roles, build sustainable livelihoods, and confidently contribute to family and community wellbeing.

Program Highlights

  • Women’s leadership and life-skills training

  • Business coaching and economic strengthening initiatives

  • Mentorship and peer support networks

  • Advocacy for gender equity and equal opportunity

Building Stronger Communities Through Women

When women lead, communities prosper. By investing in women’s leadership and economic empowerment, we are nurturing a future where women are not only participants in development—but leaders shaping lasting change.
