This Mother’s Day, celebrate mothers around the world with a gift that gives back. 

Savings groups are providing independence and hope for women in Ethiopia.
For $20 a month, you can provide 10 trainings for 11 women in 2017. 
SEND SUPPORT TO MOTHERS

Empowered women help their families THRIVE.

The women in our target community have been enrolled in financial savings groups and will receive training on how to save their own funds, develop a business idea, and launch a small business. Meeting in groups of 12-15, these women provide support and loans to one another on a weekly basis. These savings groups give mothers the opportunity and support to find a sustainable path out of poverty.

​“The self help group is a way for us to make additional income. This group really helps us to solve our problems. As women, we are able to share the burden together. We make our own decisions about our money. 
​
We have freedom.

This is Jamanesh, a member of a saving's group in the community. Jamanesh’s family relies on farming for income. Her family must buy fertilizer to grow crops, which is very expensive. Because of the group, Jamanesh can borrow money to purchase the fertilizer, then pay back the loan when crops are harvested.
