Women are stepping into leadership roles, empowered to overcome societal barriers and drive meaningful change. Innovators are harnessing technology to revolutionize agricultural practices, ensuring food security and sustainable practices for generations to come. It is in their stories that we find our motivation, our inspiration, and our unwavering commitment to keep pushing forward.
Whether it is Hadija’s dedication to creating decent work opportunities for farmers and vendors in Tanzania, or Bertha’s drive and determination to support her community through her agricultural business. Tina and Moulaye’s passion and commitment to contributing to rural development and the creation of jobs in Senegal. Or Maheder’s ambition in food processing, creating jobs and raising incomes for farmers in Ethiopia.
Their stories serve as reminders that with dedication, perseverance, and access to the right supports, people can turn their dreams into reality, they can find success in business, and they can invest in their communities.
We believe in the power of economic development to create lasting impact, even in the face of global challenges. But it’s only with your support that we can continue to make a real and lasting difference in people’s lives.
Join us as we continue to champion entrepreneurship, build sustainable livelihoods, and create decent work for entrepreneurs in the global south. Together, let’s redefine what’s possible for entrepreneurs and unlock a future where they no longer have to defy the odds. Help us build a world where everyone has a chance to shape their own story, find decent work, and break free from the cycle of poverty. Please give today.
