We work with locally based projects that are initiated and controlled by women and communities facing severe economic and social conditions. Our aim is to support Latin American women who are freeing their potential and, alongside their men, determining the direction of their communities for the benefit of everyone. Our projects are small scale with clear objectives and visible practical results.
