We establish projects and programmes that eradicate poverty and empower women in Swaziland.
And we are unique. Our empowerment work with women not only will help eradicate poverty in their local communities but give them skills and the confidence to fight for a better life for themselves. Women are a great risk but at the same time hold the key to Africa’s development. We want to unleash the talent in Africa’s women and we’re already working, with them, to secure a better future.
To do this successfully, we want to build an international movement. A movement of people who will join us in this goal. By giving regularly as little as £4 per month you can make a start. That will fund women led small businesses, send aids orphaned children through primary school and help us pioneer legal cases to protect and fight for the rights of women in Swaziland.
