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.
