Turning Profits Into Possibility for Women in DRC

Congo, Democratic Republic of the Women and Girls

This campaign will allow us to enroll 500 women in our two-week literacy and microfinance trainings, and to provide each of the 500 women with a zero-interest microloan of $100 USD. Owning a small business provides women affected by conflict a sustainable path to rise out of extreme global poverty, end child malnutrition, and to improve the overall quality of life for their families. We offer the training and support, they do the rest.
