Women Empowerment and Community Transformation
Communities are partners in our work, not just participants. We open leadership and livelihood opportunities for women, support grassroots groups, and bring neighbours together through forums, clean-ups and tree planting to tackle the health and environmental risks they face.
Our focus
- Mentorship and leadership for women (GLOW)
- Green livelihood opportunities for women-led groups
- Community education and awareness forums
- Tree planting, clean-ups and public awareness campaigns
Work under this pillar
