Our Work with Women and Girls

We partner with ECLRD to advance the empowerment of women and girls, promote equality and prevent violence in communities. Local faith and youth leaders of Christian and Muslim groups who are highly respected receive training to speak out against cultural norms to prevent violence and support survivors with care and compassion.

Our programs engage entire communities of women, men, girls and boys in conversations and activities that foster respect and healthy relationships. Through locally-led savings and loan groups, survivors can access financial support to start businesses and achieve economic stability.
