Transforming Lives, Building Hope
Program Overview
Women to Business is our transformative economic empowerment program that equips women with the skills, knowledge, and resources to run successful small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We believe that empowering women economically creates a ripple effect that transforms entire families and communities.
Through partnerships with Toyota Kenya, UNDP, and other organizations, we've supported over 300 women with comprehensive business training, digital marketing skills, and access to interest-free micro-finance loans. Our program goes beyond just business—it builds confidence, independence, and sustainable livelihoods.
