More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Ethiopia’s social pressures have made traditional farming practices unsustainable. Women do not own land or other means of production. They depend on men for their livelihoods, making it difficult for them to have control over important choices affecting their lives, including choices about children. This project will provide 5,000 women from poor households with alternative means of income for self-reliance.

Activities

Help women choose enterprises and assess markets; provide technical and enterprise management training. The project also provides start-up funds and monitoring services.

Project Message

“When I was a full-time employee, I was always short of money and time. But ever since I started working for myself, I have enough of both.”
- Mrs. Tenaye Mekonnen, a poor woman who received training and a loan
