CIRCLES OF SUSTAINABILITY

3 Circles of Sustainability

#1 Care Essentials

What are Care Essentials?

Before a mama can focus on literacy, business, or leadership, she needs safety and stability. Our Care Essentials Circle provides urgent support that protects families and creates the foundation for long-term transformation. As we say, "we are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship." this is where healing happens! Scroll through to learn more!

What this includes:

Emergency medical care
Savings groups
Leadership development

Emergency Medical Fund

We provide grants towards emergency medical needs. When crisis hits, our team steps in quickly with access to medical treatment, transport, and follow-up care so mamas and children can receive help in time. A one-time gift of $250 can save a woman’s life!

We also resource village-level clinics with the supplies and equipment they need — clinics that are run by our very own moms. By equipping these community clinics, hundreds of families can receive medical care they would never otherwise access. It’s dignity, accessibility, and life-saving support right in the heart of each village.

Savings Groups

Savings Groups bring together small groups of about 30 women who meet weekly to encourage, empower, and stand with one another. Each mama begins her very first savings account — lovingly called her “lady bank.” Together, they pool resources, learn financial skills, and even offer small loans to one another. These groups build confidence, resilience, and community strength one week at a time.

Leadership Development

Women who have been disempowered deserve to be empowered — and that’s exactly what leadership development is all about.
In every group of 30 mamas, at least five naturally step into leadership (often more!). When several groups come together for literacy, we layer in another 15 leadership roles.

Why? Because leadership isn’t just about running programs — it’s about giving women back their voice, restoring confidence, and building a community where formerly disempowered mamas become the ones who guide and inspire others.

#2: Core Empowerment

⭐️ CORE EMPOWERMENT⭐️ is where everything begins to change.
Mamas learn to read and write, manage money, understand hygiene and sanitation, and take confident steps toward building sustainable livelihoods.

This circle strengthens a woman’s mind, skills, and voice, unlocking opportunities for her family, her future and her entire community!

Primary Literacy

Mamas begin with the basics ~ reading, writing, and simple math. For many, this is the first time they’ve ever held a pencil or written their own name. Literacy opens the door to confidence, independence, and new opportunities.

Hygiene & Sanitation

Mamas learn essential hygiene, sanitation, and health practices for themselves, their children, and their homes. These simple skills drastically reduce preventable illness and create safer, healthier households!

Business Training:

Women learn how to budget, save, plan small businesses, and track income and expenses. This training helps mamas start or strengthen income-generating work that supports their families long-term.

Our personal favorite part? They are no longer getting cheated at the market!

#3 Community Development

⭐️ Community Development ⭐️

Clean water is the heartbeat of Community Development.
For many villages, the nearest safe water source is miles away ~ which means long walks, unsafe water, and preventable illness. Drilling a new well changes everything.

💧 A new well 💧costs $7,500 and provides clean, safe water for an entire village (approx 1,500).
It brings health, safety, time, and dignity back to hundreds of families.

But water is only the beginning.
As communities gain stability, women step into new opportunities through:

A wide network of micro-lending options 💸
A village-level supply chain system 🛒 that connects graduate groups and strengthens local markets
Community change 🌱 Many of our mamas are getting elected into government roles now and leading their communities into change!

Community Development is long-term, generational change — built and led by women who once had no voice, and now are transforming their villages from the inside out.

We have provided 86 wells so far! This means clean water for approx. 129,000!!! Saving 5 million hours of walking every year!

Pssst: that's a secret box. Click on it.
