Supporting women's autonomy and empowerment

The project

InclusionInternational aid
The women we work with suffer a double injustice: poverty and gender inequality. They are less trained, less valued and often excluded from the formal economy, even though they are almost entirely responsible for childcare. Entrepreneurs du Monde gives them the tools to become financially independent, empowered and recognized within their communities.

Solution

We offer women comprehensive, long-term support to develop their business and become emancipated: microcredit (without deposit or guarantee), savings services, economic, social and health training, agricultural advice, solutions for access to clean energy, social support in case of difficulty and a self-help group that meets at least once a month.

Use of the money

With €10,000, we will extend our services to 100 new vulnerable micro-entrepreneurs. These basic services are a real boost for them: they regain their self-confidence, they increase their income, they improve their living conditions and those of their families, and they become role models for their community!
Thanks to credit and training, I've been able to structure and develop my business. My income has tripled, I've been able to buy my house and I'm now financing my daughter's education. I've achieved a level of financial stability that I've never had before, and I'm proud of how far I've come.
