One empowered woman can lead an entire community out of poverty and darkness!

We empower women as leaders of change to distribute products that improve health, save time and save money for the world’s most neglected communities.

Gender inequality

Gender inequality exacerbates the impact of poverty on women and millions of women lack access to opportunities, financial independence and decision making.

Poverty

When you spend your days surviving, how do you find the time to escape poverty? 256 million people live on less than $US1.90 a day in India and Nepal, trapped in intergenerational poverty cycles.

Energy access

Access to clean, reliable, affordable energy is key to improving quality of life, protecting the environment and driving economic development. Simply connecting to the grid does not solve energy poverty.

Leave poverty behind

We identify, train and develop local women entrepreneurs who serve hard to reach families living on less than US$1.90 a day. Our reports share details of our approach, projects and impact.

We’re no fan of the status quo

It’s no longer okay to ignore the obstacles that stop millions of women and their families from living a better life. That’s why our team are relentlessly focused on serving the communities nobody else will. Get to know our story.
