After I joined, I have seen so many changes in my family. I can pay for all my children’s expenses. I even have savings!

Get Involved
When you join Convoy:Women, you become part of a sisterhood that advocates for the women and girls Convoy of Hope serves.

Approach
Give women the tools to build happier, healthier futures.
Convoy partners with women to create a customized and holistic strategy that fits their needs.

Economic Empowerment
When a woman generates an income, it doesn’t only benefit her — the entire community profits. Through the training techniques below, Convoy of Hope equips women to start and successfully operate their own businesses.
- Financial education
- Vocational training
- Cooperative savings groups
- Providing start-up capital (not a loan)

Family Health Empowerment
Convoy of Hope trains and educates women, including expectant mothers, in early childhood development, nutrition, health, hygiene, literacy, cooking, and even small-scale agriculture.
- Participants who engage in Convoy’s programming have the opportunity to receive a month’s worth of food to help supplement their diet.
- We provide mothers — with emphasis on those expecting — with vitamins for both themselves and their children.
- Mothers with children under 5 years old can have them monitored through Convoy’s programming to both reduce malnutrition and maintain healthy development.

Girls’ Empowerment
Girls’ Empowerment brings educational programs to schools and communities in order to raise the next generation of leaders. Girls in this program develop life skills and learn about culturally relevant issues like the ones listed below.
- General health
- Nutrition
- Emotional health
- Positive decision-making
