Empowerment
Economic empowerment for women: the funding, skills and support to build a business of her own.
Entrepreneurship
Women run many of Africa's small businesses but often face extra barriers to growing them: limited access to credit, business training and professional networks. When a woman earns a reliable income, she gains independence and can better support her family.
