OUR APPROACH
Health Advocacy & Patient Networks
We work to increase awareness and reduce stigma on common health issues (e.g. HIV, TB, Diabetes & COVID-19), and encourage engagement, outreach and solidarity through patient networks.
Women's Rights & Inclusive Development
We ensure equitable opportunities for upwards mobility for all women, transgender women and children in the community.
Economic Resilience & Leadership
We believe a developed society is one in which women are financially independent, with a growing women running community enterprises and taking leadership roles in entrepreneurial growth.
Agriculture & Environmental Development
We want to see an increase in the number of female landowners in the community, with women using their land to cultivate crops following organic and sustainable farming methods.
