Women in rural Kakamega have limited opportunities to earn money.They generally have fewer assets than men and have difficulty getting credit to set up small businesses.Good Health Community Programmes sets up schemes to help women in remote areas manage their own savings and credit so they can fund their own enterprises.We also offer business training and and advise to build women's confidence so they can go to play a bigger role in making decisions for their household and community.
- Women use our training and their livestock as a basis for finding new ways to make money.
- Village savings and loans groups let women manage their money in a simple way so they can set up businesses such as baking.
- Women train as community- based legal advisers and advise others about their legal rights in family law, land and property rights, criminal law.
Livestock breeding and goat fattening are becoming more profitable as county government in partnership with GIZ trained community animal health workers provide local, affordable access to essential veterinary care. Healthy goats are more valuable and produce more nutritious milk.Our project is helping more than 3000 rural women increase their household income and learn about how the legal system can protect them.With more money, families are also able to send their children to school.
Hi Kristine. Do you have a website and/or social media page(s) to add to your story? Thanks, and good luck again with your submission:-)
Dear Kristine,
This is the kind of grassroots work that truly makes a difference in the lives of so many women. Congratulations to all who are involved! More than 3000 women are being helped to find innovative ways to earn and save money. Wow! Finding ways to provide these basic rights - to earn and save our own money, to get business training, and have access to information and discussion on family law and human rights. This is the women's movement action that gives me hope that we are reaching everyone and leaving no-one behind. What great news. What great work.
In sisterhood,
