Women’s Fund

NGO Mondo Women’s Fund promotes women’s entrepreneurship and welfare in the destination countries of Mondo.

A number of women in the rural areas of Mondo’s destination countries lack the skills and knowledge to provide financial support for their families. Mondo has conducted entrepreneurship and farming courses for women in the Shianda village of Kenya, and developed the production of shea butter and basket weaving in the Kongo village of Ghana. In both of these countries, we have also helped to establish cooperatives that create better opportunities for women to earn an income. In Kampala, Uganda, we have helped women with disabilities to establish their own little sewing atelier, and we still support its progress. In Georgia, we support the only women’s shelter in the Samegrelo region, combating violence against women with our local partnerorganisation. In Afghanistan, we have offered women courses on the English language and computer literacy, and additional training for midwives. 

Courses, trainings, and cooperations guarantee women a bigger income, which in turn guarantees families their financial independence, food reserves, and education for children.

Women who struggle with finding a sustainable income, can get some financial security by owning a goat. A goat and goat kids are an investment and can be resold to pay for school or hospital expenditures.
