Women leaders start helping 750 people out of extreme poverty
The compassion in action of HOPE supporters means 70 leaders are helping their neighbours and communities step into a life shaped by vision and capacity, not poverty.
They start training this week in:
Business and financial literacy
Community mobilization
Project management and entrepreneurship
In the next couple months, seed money will be made available to cultivate the opportunities envisioned, including projects that:
Reduce the impact of climate change on crop yields and food security
Improve safety and productivity by installing electricity and lights
Establish community-owned banks so marginalized people can access credit
The investments made by HOPE supporters are giving women the tools and support needed to pioneer a way forward out of extreme poverty for themselves, their neighbours and their communities.
