Championing Women's Economic Empowerment - Video Transcript
Voiceover Women’s economic inclusion has the power to change nations. An economically empowered women can secure her own future, the future of her family and develop her community. Educated women reinvest 90% of their income back into their families, creating healthier and wealthier communities and supporting more children through school.
Yet in many parts of our rural sub-Saharan Africa, young women lack access to quality education, skills, jobs, land and loans. They remain isolated and vulnerable to exploitation, early marriage and teenage pregnancy. Women’s economic exclusion perpetuates the vicious cycle of poverty. Together we can change this.

There is no time to lose. Join us today to shape an equitable tomorrow.
