What is CARE Zimbabwe doing to improve women’s economic empowerment?

We focus on supporting women to access financial services, participate in dignified work, and thrive as entrepreneurs and small-scale producers. Through an emphasis on economic justice, we are committed to changing the discriminatory social norms and economic structures, laws, policies, and practices that marginalize women.

CARE Zimbabwe works with economically marginalized women who have no or limited access to and control over economic rights, resources, and opportunities. We work with workers, entrepreneurs, and small-scale producers, as well as Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) members. This includes women living in fragile or conflict-affected contexts, and those who have been displaced.
