Thriving communities start with powerful women.
When women are earning their own income, they consistently invest up to 90% back into their families. For men it is around 30-40%. The effects of this reaches across generations.
When women have decision-making power over where household income is spent, more money is spent on schooling and food.
When a woman is educated she has fewer children. This means less financial pressure so families can devote more resources to child nutrition, health, and education.
Educated mothers pass on their education to their children, and are twice as likely to send their girls to school. For each extra year a mother is educated, the chance of her baby dying is reduced by 9.5%
We join forces with remarkable grassroots women's organisations around the world.
