What we do
Economic Justice & Skills
Income in a woman’s hands is autonomy in her life. And vocational training: tailoring, agribusiness, food processing, and crafts, as well as village savings and loan associations owned and led by women, small-business mentoring and market linkage for women entrepreneurs, start-up kits and seed grants for survivor-led enterprises.

About this program
When a woman earns and controls her own income, she has more say over her family’s health, her children’s schooling and her own future. This program builds skills, savings and businesses that women own and run.
It supports both refugee and host-community women, with extra backing for survivors who are starting again and want independent livelihoods.
