WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Why women:
When we support women farmers with micro-loans, they grow more food, they have enough to feed the children and family - and sell the surplus.
The more money they earn, the better they can provide for their family's health, send their children to school, and invest in their farms.
Women do the most of the world's farming work, but often have less access to capital to better their farming or start-up small-scale businesses and create the market.
Giving women access to resources through our micro-finance boots agricultural productivity in villages by 90% - feeding more people and driving economic growth through small businesses.
