Happy Women's Day! Every day is an opportunity to celebrate the social, cultural, economic, and political achievements of women, but today is an even special occasion to acknowledge their impact, the role they play, and the work that lies ahead. Women #entrepreneurs, for instance, play a crucial role in driving economic growth, particularly in Africa, where their #businesses create jobs and alleviate poverty. Let's keep empowering women to thrive and create positive change on this International Women's Day and every other day. #impactinvesting #socialchange #womenempowerment

Most women in Africa are heavy lifters and are responsible for household well-being. Joining a women's self-help group is one avenue women uplift each other and diversify income. Ushirika na Upendo Women group has diversified into making liquid soap to improve income. Women's economic empowerment is critical for unleashing community sustainability and eliminating all forms of violence against women. #womenseconomicempowerment #endingviolenceagainstwomen #womencommunityleadership

Women entrepreneurs face significant barriers, including limited access to finance, lack of business networks, and cultural norms that prioritize male- dominated business environments. Only 30% of Rwandan women have access to a bank account, and event fewer have access to formal credit. In partnership with Women for Women Rwanda, the Julius Baer Foundation joint effort reduces wealth inequality by strengthening the Rwandan female entrepreneurial ecosystem. We link women micro-entrepreneurs with potential partners to share resources and knowledge. ➡ Join us in supporting these incredible women and helping to create a more equitable world. ➡ Visit our website to learn more about Women for women project and see how you can get involved: https://ow.ly/eAfC50RJzcV #WomenEmpowerment #WomenEntrepreneurs #WealthInequality Women for Women International
