Story

Self-Help International has been empowering women in Ghana since 1999. Empowering women is crucial to a thriving society. More than 60% of married women who are employed and earn cash make independent decisions on how to spend their earnings (2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey). By offering even illiterate women basic business skills training and the financing to put their skills into action, they are able to start small businesses, increase family income, and achieve self-sufficiency.

Impact

This project is about more than economic development: it's about advancing human dignity. Women take pride in being able to send their children to bed well-fed, in a decent home each night, and then off to school clothed in proper school uniforms each morning. Yes, we help them register for health insurance so one illness won't bankrupt them anymore. Yes, we help them open savings accounts at commercial banks so they can join the formal economy. But most of all, we create role models & leaders.

Challenge

If women had the same access to productive resources as men, there would be 150 million fewer hungry people on this planet. Women play major roles as farmers & business people in rural Ghana, yet less than 1% own land or have access to collateral necessary to get loans through commercial banks. These social barriers limit women's ability to start up and scale up their small businesses, therefore making it difficult if not impossible to meet all of their children's basic needs.
