Young women and girls building sustainable livelihoods
WODEF equips young women and girls with enterprise skills, financial literacy, and market access so they can grow income, confidence, and long-term resilience.
Economic dignity matters because it changes decision-making power at household and community level. WODEF supports young women and girls to move from short-term coping into stronger, more reliable income pathways.
Our economic empowerment work helps young women and girls move from vulnerability to agency. We combine practical business coaching, entrepreneurship support, and livelihood opportunities that reflect local realities and the sectors where young women and girls can thrive.
Many young women and girls face restricted access to capital, training, market information, and supportive business networks. Without practical support, income opportunities remain fragile and highly exposed to shocks.
We pair enterprise training with savings culture, mentorship, and community-rooted support structures so participants can test ideas, grow confidence, and build more durable livelihood strategies.
Identify young women and girls with livelihood potential through grassroots groups and local partner networks.
Deliver practical enterprise, financial literacy, and market-readiness training shaped by local opportunity.
Support peer learning, savings practice, and business follow-up that helps young women and girls keep applying what they learn.
We start with the realities women face on the ground, then design practical pathways into income generation, business growth, and peer support networks.
