It is a well-known fact that economic support given directly to women in developing countries often yields better economic and social returns to their families/communities than when given to their male counterparts. Yet women and girls in Sub Saharan Africa who are at the highest risk are still largely without much need support and are economically disadvantaged.

Women and girls have a key role to play in overcoming poverty.

“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice” – Nelson Mandela.
