Our Focus
Strengthening Agribusiness
We partner with government institutions, organizations, women farmers, and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to improve agricultural production, profitability and sustainability. We focus on women’s empowerment in the dairy value chain.
Building Capacity for Tourism and Hospitality
We provide technical assistance to businesses, organizations and associations focused on eco-friendly tourism. We’re promoting women’s empowerment and inclusion with government institutions.
