We believe economic empowerment is the cornerstone of lasting change for women and their communities. When women are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and resources to become financially independent, they not only improve their own lives but also uplift their families and society.
How We Bring Change
We provide practical, market-relevant skills to women and girls, including tailoring, soap making, hairdressing, and more. These skills enable them to secure employment or start small businesses that support their financial independence.
Our programs include training in financial literacy, small business management, and entrepreneurship. Participants receive ongoing mentorship to help them turn their ideas into successful ventures.
We connect women with essential financial tools like savings groups (VSLAs), microloans, and grants. We also offer seed funding to help kick-start their entrepreneurial journeys.
Through our mentorship programs, women gain insights and guidance from experienced professionals. We also create networking opportunities to help them build connections and access new opportunities.
Our Impact
By empowering women economically, we are:
Reducing poverty in households and communities.
Enabling women to invest in education and healthcare for their families.
Creating a ripple effect of empowerment as women become role models in their communities.
Through economic empowerment, WAF is building a future where women have the skills, confidence, and resources to live dignified lives. By breaking the cycle of poverty and dependence, we are driving sustainable change—one woman at a time.
