Access to Inclusive Finance

Skilling of GBV Survivors

Support to The Ecosystem

We partner with financial institutions and service providers to improve access to formal financial systems for young women and girls. This includes facilitating partnerships that provide affordable financial products tailored to the needs of GBV survivors and at-risk young women.

We work closely with community skilling partners to provide inclusive and accessible training opportunities for adolescent girls and young women, particularly those who are survivors of gender-based violence. Our goal is to equip them with market-driven, transferable skills that open doors to meaningful employment or entrepreneurship.

We work closely with national and county governments to address the heavy and unequal burden of unpaid care and domestic work through progressive policy reforms, practical interventions, and gender-responsive budgeting. Our influence in developing the National Policy on Unpaid Care and Domestic Work is a major step toward recognizing and valuing this work.
