The Muhoroni People’s Foundation is empowering women to earn a fair price utilising locally grown materials and skill-based training.

As a largely arable area dominated by sugar cane, women in Muhoroni and the surrounding villages find themselves working in the fields as casual labour. Women also take in washing for pay –  an unreliable source of income and insufficient to generate a steady amount of money to raise their families.

More than 20% of women in Muhoroni and surrounding villages survive on less than £1 per day.

Supporting women-headed households to get on their feet to start earning an income is a way out of poverty.

Our approach is to tackle child malnutrition by striking at the very roots of poverty; the gender inequality and disempowerment of women that inhibits their ability to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

The cascade effect of women earning a fair wage and breaking the cycle of poverty is huge. If a mother can work in a safe environment they are able to send their children to school.
