Women & Youth Empowerment and Gender Equity

When women thrive, families and communities prosper. NFF provides women with skills in parenting, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership — helping them secure economic independence and take on community leadership roles.

Key Challenges

  • Women’s participation is high, but largely in informal, low-income sectors

  • 75% of women-owned businesses lack access to finance

  • Only 32% of rural women access empowerment programs

  • Women—primary caregivers—often lack economic opportunities
